This is one of my favourite poems. The Mirror.
So often we compliment, complain and criticize those around us whether we know them or not.
We push people aside because we don't like aspects of who they are.
We draw people closer because they have qualities that make us feel warm and energised.
They are a reflection of you.
To often though, we forget that we can only see in others what we are ourselves.
What do you see?
These experiences of what we find in others helps us connect to one and other, to facilitate a greater understanding and compassion for others. As we are all the same.
The good you find in others, is in you too.
The faults you find in others, are your faults as well.
After all, to recognize something you must know it.
The possibilities you see in others, are possible for you as well.
The beauty you see around you, is your beauty.
The world around you is a reflection, a mirror showing you the person you are.
To change your world, you must change yourself.
To blame and complain will only make matters worse.
Whatever you care about, is your responsibility.
What you see in others, shows you yourself.
See the best in others,and you will be your best.
Give to others, and you give to yourself.
Appreciate beauty, and you will be beautiful.
Admire creativity, and you will be creative.
Love, and you will be loved.
Seek to understand, and you will be understood.
Listen, and your voice will be heard.
Teach, and you will learn.
Show your best face to the mirror,
and you'll be happy with the face looking back at you.
