The Gift of the Mirror

March 15, 2022

“Whenever I find myself in judgment of someone or something outside of me, it’s always an opportunity to turn my focus inward.

There is nothing I see outside of me that is not also a reflection of something within me. Everyone and everything is a mirror.

For example, if I get angry with someone and then turn my eyes inward, I will inevitably see that I’m holding anger inside. That person has actually given me a great gift by mirroring back to me an unhealed aspect of myself.

We also reflect out to the world what we carry inside. If I’m holding anger inside, I will express anger out to the world. If I love myself, I will express love to the world.

I cannot see outside of me that which is not also within me.

This is the gift of the mirror.”
