People you feel drawn to
reflect your inner self back at you, and you act as a mirror for them as well.
When we look at other people, we see many of their qualities in innumerable and
seemingly random combinations. However, the qualities that we see in the people
around us are directly related to the traits that exist in 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. Simply
put, when you look at others, you will likely see what exists in you. When you
see beauty, divinity, sweetness, or light in the soul of another, you are
seeing the goodness that resides in your soul. When you see traits in others
that evoke feelings of anger, annoyance, or hatred, you may be seeing reflected
back at you those parts of yourself that you have disowned or do not like.
Because we are all mirrors for each other, looking at the people in your life
can tell you a lot about yourself. Who you are can be laid bare to you through
what you see in others. It is easy to see the traits you do not like in others.
It is much more difficult to realize that you possess those same traits. Often,
the habits, attitudes, and behaviors of others are closely linked to our
unconscious and unresolved issues.
When you come into contact with someone you admire, search your soul for
similarly admirable traits. Likewise, when you meet someone exhibiting traits
that you dislike, accept that you are looking at your reflection. Looking at
yourself through your perception of others can be a humbling and eye-opening
experience. You can also cultivate in you the traits and behaviors that you do
like. 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.
