Whenever you don?t like a trait in someone else, it?s usually reflecting something within you that you?ve concealed from yourself. It also may be that you recognize the potential for that trait within yourself, and don?t like it. I don?t like people to belittle others, or are cruel. When I hurt someone?s feelings, even unintentionally, it hurts me.
In the past, I would even avoid confronting someone who?d been mean to me because I didn?t want to hurt them. What I finally realized is that the potential to be cruel is within me, as it is within us all, but it?s well hidden. Since I acknowledged that, I can now respond appropriately to someone who is nasty.
You don?t have to act on those attributes you don?t like. But when you find out how the qualities you dislike are expressing in you, and accept them, the energy around them melts away. You no longer have to attract people who are reflecting the parts of you that you?ve masked.
The Universe simply sent them into your life to teach you to accept yourself. All of yourself. Once I began to be true to myself, and convey that to the world, I attracted friends and a partner who were more open with me. The Universe accepts you unconditionally as you are. Wouldn?t you want to accept yourself as much as the Universe does?
