Frequently,when we dislike qualities in other people,ironically,it's usually the mirror that's speaking to us. I began questioning myself further each time I encountered someone that I didn't particularly like. Each time,I asked myself,"What is it about that person that I don't 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 I'm not willing to make a drastic change,at least I consider how I might modify some of the things that I'm doing. At times we meet someone new and feel distant,disconnected,or disgusted. Although we don't want to believe it,and it's 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. It's simply just another way to create more self-awareness.
