The World Is Your Mirror

One of the quickest ways to dismantle blame is to activate compassion. It can feel repulsive and frustrating at first. It's so much more compelling to "other" people and see yourself as separate and either superior or inferior to them. When you're willing to shift your attention to how you're alike, or how they can teach you, not only do you immediately soften, but compassion takes over, and you get liberated from the "othering" trap. This is what it means to let the world be your mirror.

We all breathe and bleed. Compassion unites us. Thank you. ✨️

Wow I needed to hear this now, I was overthinking about someone’s behavior instead of focusing on myself and my lesson. Thank you!

If you spot it, you got it! People who trigger us reflect our shadow sides. When we also recognize others’ needs and struggles as reflecting our own , we can more easily be compassionate and accepting of them and of ourselves

Very wise. Thanks for posting

What a great shift of perspective . I love the idea of looking for connections with everyone you encounter.
Namaste 🙏
