<\/a>\"mirror\"<\/a>
\nYour judgments about other people say more about you than
\nthey do about the people you’re judging. The reason you can
\ndetect the weaknesses and insecurities of others is because
\nyou have experienced those same weaknesses and insecurities.\n<\/p>\n

Similarly, the reason you’re able to see beauty in others is
\nbecause that beauty lives in you as well. The positive
\npossibilities you see for others are, in many ways, your
\npossibilities too.<\/p>\n

It’s very helpful to think of the world outside of you as a
\nmirror. Whatever you see beyond you in some way reflects
\nwhat is inside you.<\/p>\n

The most powerful and effective way to improve the world
\naround you, is to improve yourself. The best way to bring
\nreal value into your life, is to create real value for
\nothers.\n<\/p>\n

What you admire and appreciate and support in others, grows
\nstronger within you as well. When you seek to understand,
\nyou will be understood, and when you listen thoughtfully,
\nyou will be heard.\n<\/p>\n

Your world is a mirror, so choose each day to show it your
\nbest, most loving and supportive face. And you’ll be
\ndelighted with the face you see looking back at you.<\/p>\n
