"We do not see things as they are...we see things as we are." ~ The Talmud.
We all know we can look in a mirror and see a reflection of our physical selves. In a broader sense our "worldly mirror" does the same thing. How we are treated and our experieces, the quality of our life, our finances and our relationships are a few examples that allow us to bear witness to our relationship with ourselves.
If you love yourself, you will attract and be attracted to those who love you. If you struggle with self acceptance, you will struggle being accepted by others. If you hate yourself, you will find yourself in abusive and painful relationships. We allow people close to us that reflect our inner beliefs back to us. When I hated myself, I was attracted to people who mistreated me. Now that I am in a loving relationship with myself, I would never tolerate such behavior.
Most of us have heard the saying "treat others the way you want to be treated." I like to elaborate on this by saying "treat yourself the way you want others to treat you." If you want more repect do things that exemplify self respect. If you want more love in your life, love yourself. If you want to cultivate greater prosperity, go deeper in claiming your profound and innate value.
Get in the habit of asking yourself "What honors me now?" and "What does loving myself look like?" and follow through with the information that you recieve. You will find life starts to shift in powerful and positive ways!
