“Is there a Mirror in Your Life?”
Have you ever wished for a partner or friend? Someone you could trust absolutely to talk to, bounce ideas off of and receive honest, un-prejudiced, no holds barred, loving feedback on anything? Someone who cared enough about you to give back information untainted by their own prejudices or preconceptions without being smothering, jealous, forceful, or insistent? Someone with no ax to grind, confident in their Self and strong enough to stand up to you? Someone who LISTENS.
Well, I found just such a person…or I should say she found me! I have to admit when we met I certainly didn’t recognize her as being that friend. Foolishly, my ego immediately determined that she needed me and my help. (Oh, how our egos mislead us.) Each time she called to talk or ask questions, my mind assumed I was the one with the answers. And at first it seemed to be true…we talked out an issue or question and I gave my ideas and thoughts about it. She was grateful and I was happy to help. But it didn’t take long before I noticed a pattern…her questions provided my answers - to issues I had mulled over for awhile! The thoughts, ideas and answers I offered to her were actually solutions and ideas that answered my questions or confusion and provided me relief!
Then suddenly I knew… she was my Mirror. Someone who was drawn to me and who I unconsciously attracted so we could help each other achieve our Purposes. Two people inexorably meant to work together – with and for each other – for the greatest and highest good of us both.
So the next time you feel drawn to someone or they are drawn to you, ask yourself, “What is this person mirroring back to me?” An honest accessment of your Self might provide you the gift of friendship you didn’t know you were seeking…one that found you!
