How Others Show Us Who We Are

Just as we can be unconscious of our wounds and fears, we can also be unconscious of our strengths and beauty. If you are really drawn to the positive qualities in another person, you are being invited to own those same qualities in yourself!
But on the flip side of this, if you are finding yourself irritated with certain aspects of another's personality, chances are you exude that same trait.
It's that old saying:  I know you are, but what am I?  When we project out what another "is" it is actually showing us what we are.
The good news is, we don't have to wait for someone else to show us our weaknesses, we only have to look at how we judge others.  The second piece of good news is:  when you notice something wonderful and lovely about another, you are recognizing it because you hold that same attribute as well!
Now that is something to celebrate!
Happy New Year to all!
