InnerSelf's Daily Inspiration
December 16, 2024
The focus for today is:
When I see others as my mirror,
I am looking within myself.
Today's inspiration was written by Marie T. Russell:
As the saying goes: We teach best what we have to learn. Or to rephrase that: we can often see the error in someone else’s words and actions and be oblivious to ours. As it says in the Bible: “First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.”
But why does it seem easier to see the error or failing in someone else? Well, that’s simple enough: Because we’re looking at them and not looking at ourselves. Which is where the concept that everyone is our mirror comes in.
When you start seeing others as your mirror, you start looking not so much at their failings, but you look within yourself to see how you exhibit or harbor those same tendencies.
