Reading this entry of your Blog has made me think about what happens when one is put into a challenging situation. For the most part, I think we all have to put up with stuff from time to time and in the end makes us better for it. After a while you increase your tolerance for BS and can learn from as well as teach lessons from it.

I’ve often thought that it is possible to bring out the best in others if you approach a situation with a positive and open outlook. Most of the time this works…. even with negative minded people.

Another truth about it is that there are some individuals who are filled with such negativity that no amount of good will is going to bring them into the fold. This is ok too. It is just a reflection of their state of mind. In my opinion, it does not necessarily mean that these types of individuals should affect our outlook at all. This is easier said than done, but it’s something I try to practice.

I love mirrors like you!!!! Mmmm… the law of opposites… what i need to remember about that is that when I see the beauty in others hence the mirroring thing, that too is a relection of myself, but like stopping to smell the flowers I sometimes don’t stop long enough to see the beauty in all because I am so busy reacting…as someone once said to me as this person cut in front of us at a store “where is everyone going is such a rush” Big Hugs S.

Your words are so true!

“That which is like unto itself is drawn.”

I need that reminder today!

Dang, I hate it when someone hurts me in some way, and then I come to realize that I do the same thing to others every day. I’m having stuff mirrored to me every day here lately. I keep thinking “Enough already, God.”

Wow, I found you through the WWFM link on Shannon’s site. Your post title jumped out at me. It could have been a page out of my book recently. Would you mind if I copy some of your words to share with some members of my club. We are in the deep dark depths of negativity right now and your words were so well written. Please leave me a comment on my blog letting me know if I can quote you or copy your statements. Well said! Hang in there, there is a lesson and there is a brighter side on the other end.

Very nice. I often “forget” about the mirror part. Especially when I am sure it is my husband that is causing all my troubles for that moment. LOL It is always later that I see that he does what I do and it frustrates me.

Your post was so insightful and I appreciate that. It’s a keeper in my book.

Have a great day!

Colleen..I admire your courage to ask the questions and be the watcher in your life. I remember what Marianne Williamson says..kinda goes like this: There are 2 things that will bring up the darkness in other people, your darkness and YOUR LIGHT…you radiate so much light, it’s bound to happen….please keep on shining tho..we need you
love your way…
