Within: ( As defined by the American Heritage Dictionary )
1. In or into the inner part; inside.
2. Inside the mind, heart, or soul; inwardly.
Are you comfortable within your own skin? How much time do you expend admiring another? Their success? Their mis-takes? How much time do you spend in judgement?
What if life was a mirror? What if what you saw or what you see in another is only visible to you to because it is within you?
Really, life is a journey . . . a journey in which we travel along a path . . . a path where we spend time gathering information, observing, sharing, judging and forming opinions. Often, we spend so much time looking outward, that we forget or neglect to to look within.
The next time you encounter someone you admire, someone you aspire to be more like, I challenge you to stop and take a moment to tell this person what it is that you admire within them. Share with them that you aspire to be like them and tell them what traits you aspire to be more like. Give of your heart to this person.
Then, I challenge you to receive. Celebrate who you are, for you see, we can not see in someone else what is not already within us!
What do we see in others that we do not see within . . . nothing for life is a mirror.
Seeing within changes one's outer vision. ~ Joseph Chilton Pearce
