Mirrors have a very particular function. They reflect the image in front of them. Just as a physical mirror serves as the vehicle to reflection, so do all of the people in our lives.
When we see something beautiful such as a flower garden, that garden serves as a reflection. In order to see the beauty in front of us, we must be able to see the beauty inside of ourselves. When we love someone, its a reflection of loving ourselves. When we love someone, its a reflection of loving ourselves. We have often heard things like I love how I am when Im with that person. That simply translates into Im able to love me when I love that other person. Oftentimes, when we meet someone new, we feel as though we click. Sometimes its as if weve known each other for a long time. That feeling can come from sharing similarities.
Just as the mirror or other person can be a positive reflection, it is more likely that well notice it when it has a negative connotation. For example, its easy to remember times when we have met someone were not particularly crazy about. We may have some criticism in our mind about the person. This is especially true when we get to know someone with whom we would rather spend less time.
Frequently, when we dislike qualities in other people, ironically, its usually the mirror thats speaking to us.
I began questioning myself further each time I encountered someone that I didnt particularly like. Each time, I asked myself, What is it about that person that I dont like? and then Is there something similar in me? in every instance, I could see a piece of that quality in me, and sometimes I had to really get very introspective. So what did that mean?
It means that just as I can get annoyed or disturbed when I notice that aspect in someone else, I better reexamine my qualities and consider making some changes. Even if Im not willing to make a drastic change, at least I consider how I might modify some of the things that Im doing.
At times we meet someone new and feel distant, disconnected, or disgusted. Although we dont want to believe it, and its not easy or desirable to look further, it can be a great learning lesson to figure out what part of the person is being reflected in you. Its simply just another way to create more self-awareness.
