Reflection

Oftentimes the most difficult thing to face in relationships, is that what we spy as a shortcoming in another is possibly a failing in ourselves.  Viewing the issues with others as a reflection of what needs work in yourself can be a useful tool in personal growth, presenting a path for you to be a more present listener, objective participant, and supportive partner or friend.  If you think someone you are interacting with needs to improve their communication, be aware of your own communication.  If you feel someone is not noticing your efforts, take a look at your expressions towards the efforts given.  If you hold high expectations of others, watch your own gauge and keep a loving heart towards yourself and others.

Try to stay open to suggestions from those who care for you, and are actively involved with your patterns and day to day living! Part of the beauty of interacting with others besides connection and the realization of expansive, unconditional love is the role we can play in holding an honest mirror up for one another.

Sometimes the interactions that carry tension are those that can bring us the most growth when released through understanding.

We are all a work in progress.
