I recently took an inventory of my 5 closest friends. They mirrored something back to me that I did not see before within myself. Did I like what I saw? No. But looking at their non-positive traits forced me to look within my own self to see my own non-positive traits and my shadow, hidden self of stuff I could not see. I could not see this stuff within me, because I was deep in the mud of life and relating to them and myself. I have been fortunate to have healthy, wealthy, wise, hard working friends – like me.
What a couple of them mirrored to me is my anger and rage at the break up of this long term marriage I had invested emotionally in. The marriage also left me in almost financial straits – but I look at it this way: I am back in my early 20’s building my life, investing, working, relating to family and looking for a house to buy – again. I am lucky, blessed and fortunate to have strong family bonds, friends, the ability to re-educate myself – by going to massage school and obtaining a steady massage job. Than there is always the writing and creating of art which feed my soul.
I am also back, living with my parents, who are elderly and dealing with dad who has Parkinsons and a mom with frustration and expressing rage, when she is triggered. I did not remember mom’s rage and anger spewing while growing up but clearly saw this mirrored to me the other night. Since I do not express anger or rage – other people have mirrored this to me. God brought me back to the original source, my parents, where my original wound of not trusting and picking friends, partners, lovers and spouses who rage or have unexpressed rage within. What are your friends mirroring to you? http://www.katkemm.com katkemm® How To Feel And Understand Love Attraction, Send Love..
