Mirror Me : Mirror You

Reflections of Me

We Are All Mirrors for Each Other

When we look at other people, we see many of their qualities in different ways and sometimes, random combinations. However, the qualities that we see in the people around us are directly related to the traits that exist within us.

"Like attracts like" is one of the spiritual laws of the universe. We attract individuals into our lives that mirror who we are. Those you feel drawn to reflect your inner self back at you, and you act as a mirror for them. For example, when you look at others, you will likely see what exists within you. When you see beauty, love, peace, or light in the soul of a person, you are seeing the goodness that resides in your soul. When you see traits in others that have the feelings of anger, annoyance, or hatred, you may be seeing the reflection back at you. Perhaps it’s those parts of yourself that you do not like much. Because we all mirror each other, look at the people in your life. It can probably tell you a lot about yourself. It’s easy to see the traits you may not like in others. It’s much more of a challenge to realize that you possess those same traits.

When you come into contact with someone you admire, search your soul for those similar admirable traits. Likewise, when you meet someone showing traits that you dislike, accept that you may be looking at your own reflection. Looking at yourself through your perception of others may be a humbling and eye-opening experience.

Be loving and respectful to all people, and you will attract individuals that will love and respect you back. Nurture compassion and empathy and let the goodness you see in others be your mirror.
