The Key To Understanding Others

Sometimes in life, we find ourselves getting upset and frustrated with those whose actions we can't understand. The things that they do obviously will cause consequences that will eventually hurt them or others. It's as if we have the gift of premonition because it's so clear as to what will happen. But what is confusing is the degree of emotion that we invest in thinking about the impending disaster. Why are we so emotionally affected by someone else's path? There is a reason why the universe brings certain people into our lives. When we react so strongly to another person, it's usually not about them but ourselves. Remember that the things we do not like in another person is what we most fear within ourselves. Today, take a look at someone whose actions you don't agree with. Identify what it is about them that you don't like. Know that it is a weakness or fear within yourself that you may need to pay attention to. The universe leads us to these people so that we can better understand ourselves and learn to become more compassionate with them instead of being so critical of their choices. We are not meant to judge others for we are all working on some part of ourselves. Understand that everyone has their own path to walk to become who they are meant to be.

It would be so easy if everyone was all the same,
but we are all unique and special in our own way...
