The universe is a huge mirror. It reflects back to you what you send out. A real mirror shows you your outer reality. Life’s mirror shows you your inner reality. The universe’s mirror reflects both positive and negative intentions. If you dismiss, judge and mistreat yourself and others, life will reflect back, harshly. If you’re kind, loving and giving to yourself and others, life reflects back, kindly. Relationships are the perfect way to see yourself in life’s mirror. The faults you find in people are simply reflections of the faults that you, yourself have. The same is true of gifts and talents! When you admire someone, it’s because you, yourself have those same inclinations, but too often we dismiss our own potential and put ourselves in the shadow of others. We rarely allow their example to be an inspiration.
If there are things that you would like to see reflected back to you, practice “sending” it out, first. If you want to make a new friend, be a better friend to the ones you have. Ask someone out on a coffee date. If you want more opportunities, create an opportunity for someone else. In other words, create a reflection that you want to see returned back to you in the mirror of life. If you are in need, and there’s no momentum, chances are that the universe is waiting on YOU. Take the initial step. It doesn’t have to be a huge leap of faith, just a small gesture like a compliment, a statement of gratitude or a friendly word to another. For example, if you are looking for more health in your life, start by eating a piece of fruit, or replacing the French fries with a salad. Small, positive steps will lead to bigger, more substantive changes over time. But the initial step is yours to take. In the chess game of life, it’s always your move. Waiting is getting you nowhere.
