What You Project Reflects Back To You

What You Project Reflects Back To You

Did you know the blame and shame you generate and put out into the world come back to you?  The same is true for the projections you create and put out.

What do I mean by this?  The way we perceive and define others is a reflection of how we actually feel about ourselves. In other words, if you don’t like parts of yourself:  You’re not going to like the parts of you that you see in other people either.

I only know this because I’ve lived it, and it took me a long time to really lean into this one.

But, it’s true.

My New Years Reflection; What We Make Other People

My New Years Reflection; What We Make Other People

It's not the New Years resolutions that are the problem, it's that what we think we're resolving is not really what needs to be resolved.  Reflection of self has to happen first before anything can be resolved.  Will power has nothing to do with it.  In fact, using will power to push through something you really don't want to do is not only unhealthy, it can be potentially damaging to the physical body. 

It distracts us from something deeper that's calling out to us for attention.  When we ignore this call, resistance is created and then failure of not following through comes next.  This could be why so many people only make it a few weeks.
