Mirrors

Life is a mirror in every possible way. Our belief systems are mirrored by the results in our lives and our personality traits and truths are mirrored by people in our lives. When we notice someone is funny, generous, or insightful it is because we already hold these traits within ourselves. Conversely, when we notice malice, jealousy, cruelty and the dark pieces of others it is because we too own those qualities. We can't recognize what we don't already have which means what we see in others are the things we already have.

Look externally, seek the beauty in others and consciously be aware that you too hold that same beauty and brilliance simply because you can see it. We spend much of our time seeing whats wrong around us and ourselves that it colours our perception of the world. When we direct our attention to the positives in people, and can see it within ourselves, it creates a very different more friendly reality. Anything we direct our attention on we get more of, so practice being conscious of the greatness in others to cultivate greatness within ourselves.
