I’ve been reading a lot of material from spiritual teachers lately, and I’ve learned that everyone in our lives is intended to be a reflection of us.
Everyone around us, no matter how close or distant, is in our lives for an important reason, and I think we should treat everyone else like we’d treat ourselves.
Some people have trouble with this, because they haven’t been able to love themselves for a long time. If they can’t love themselves, they naturally can’t show any degree of real or genuine love to those around them, so the first step will always be to find self-love. The next step, from my perspective, is to treat others like we’d treat ourselves.
We’ve heard of the golden rule, ‘do unto others as you would have them do to you’, and it’s more important now than ever. We have to find love for ourselves first, and our love for the rest of the world will eventually come pouring out.
How do you choose to interact with the people in your life today?
Stay aware!
