Relationship As Mirror

Be willing to learn from what you see in those around you. What you see in others will provide a big clue as to what you believe or feel about yourself. Relationships can be incredible teachers — if you're willing to learn from your experiences!

Notice where you're judging others. Notice any negativity you're experiencing in the presence of those around you. It is never an accident who you attract to you at any given time. The people around you are always reflecting some part of you. That's why they are there in your life.

Those around you are either reflecting parts of you that you love and adore, making those people lovable and adorable, or parts of you with which you haven't yet made peace, probably making them bothersome and irritating. The beauty is that you can always learn something about yourself by what you're experiencing in your relationships, and in doing so, come to a greater sense of self-love and self-acceptance.

You don't have to be perfect in order to have successful, loving relationships in your life. You simply need to be willing to keep improving yourself as your relationships mirror back to you those aspects of yourself which need some work. And know that you are not bad for "needing work." The work is simply un-doing the lifetimes worth of erroneous programming which block the flow of love and joy between people and keeps you from being who you are. Your true essence is actually perfect just the way it is and needs no work.
