Mirror, mirror...

Succesful relationships mirror each other's ideas, belief, values. Through our partners, we can see our flaws and attributes, and this is a great opportunity for growth. Have you ever wondered why we seem to connect to a certain type of personality? Because attract whatever we project, and our relationships is a reflection of what we are.

~~~~~

The people we are in relationship with
are always a mirror, reflecting our own beliefs,
and simultaneously we are mirrors, reflecting their beliefs.
So... relationship is one of the most powerful tools for growth...
If we look honestly at our relationships,
we can see so much about how we have created them.

~ Shakti Gawain ~

What angers us in another person
is more often than not an unhealed aspect of ourselves.
If we had already resolved that particular issue,
we would not be irritated by its reflection back to us.

~ Simon Peter Fuller
(from 'Rising Out of Chaos') ~

What comes from the heart,
touches the heart.

A loving person lives in a loving world,
A hostile person lives in a hostile world,
Everyone you meet is your mirror.

~ Ken Keyes, Jr
(from 'Handbook of Higher Consciousness') ~


Everything that irritates us about others
Can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

~ Carl Jung (1875-1961),
