WHAT YOU SEE IN OTHERS EXIST IN YOU

What we perceive in others is oftentimes a reflection of who we are. When we look at the people around us, what we see is not other people, but parts of ourselves that exist within them – and it’s important to understand this.

So many of us focus on what we don’t like in other people, on the traits that are different from our own, and the ways they act or think that we don’t agree with.

But if we take a step back and look more deeply, we can recognize within ourselves the same qualities that we see in them. When we can accept and forgive our differences, we can begin to create an environment of understanding.

The same holds true for the traits that we admire in others. We may be envious of their talents or wealth, or think that they have qualities that we lack.

Yet in reality, these same attributes can be cultivated within us. By focusing on our strengths and the things that we want to emulate, we can manifest our own greatness.

Ultimately, what we see in others exists within ourselves. It is only when we understand that we are all connected and are part of a larger whole that we can come to accept our shared humanity.

We must look within and begin to rely on our own inner wisdom as a guide to understanding ourselves and the rest of the world.

So I leave you with these words.
