It takes courage to admit that the way you perceive someone has more to do with your filter than with who they actually are. It also takes conscious effort to see through a tricky ego that prefers to attribute responsibility for undesirable aspects of life onto others. Next time you catch yourself blaming someone, ask yourself if you’re really surprised with the the way things are. Honestly investigate how your behavior might have contributed to this outcome. Don’t blame yourself, just get real. This kind of honesty empowers you to create…
The kind of reflection you want.
