Seeing Yourself in Others

lean-construction-leadership-and-self-reflection.jpg

How simple is it to point out whats wrong in others! There is a reason for this: The things we dislike the most in other are often the things we are most familiar with in our own personality. We may notice or best friends tendency to spend more money than they should, but if we look at ourselves and our own spending habits we will probably find the same within ourselves. We may decide that a good friend spends too much time out partying, but find that we haven't spent a single weekend with our own families in awhile because we are out busy doing things the same way as our friend.

What we dislike in others are most often the things we dislike in ourselves. We can turn this observation to our spiritual advantage. When we are hit with the feeling to judge someone else, we can redirect the impulse in such a way as to recognize our own defective behavior more clearly.

what we see will guide our actions toward a more humane disposition towards others, and help us become emotionally healthy and happy people.

Thank you!! @theredshark God bless you!!

That is one of the methods, you can really improve your life. If you don't know what to change in yourself and think that you are a perfect person. Just look on the things you don't like in others :)

exactly. People that bug/irritate/ anger are the mirrors we can use to develop ourselves beyond what we are. Every time I feel anger/irritation toward someone, I thank God for the chance to grow just a little more. Maybe not right away, but eventually. Thanks for the comment.

Yeah meditation is necessary for everyone's life.
