"The most enlightened people in the world embrace their full potential of light and dark. When you're with people who recognize and own their negative qualities, you never feel judged by them. It's only when people see good and bad, right and wrong, as qualities outside themselves that judgments occur." ~ Deepak Chopra from The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire
That's brilliant.
If we can't own our own flaws, guess what? We'll be annoyed by anyone who has those same flaws we do. It's a classic case of projecting our issues on someone else.
What annoys you most in other people? Is it their ambition? Their vanity? The fact they're always interrupting people or always late for meetings?
Guess what?
Whatever bugs us most is almost definitely what we most need to own within ourselves. Next time you get really upset with someone. Stop. Look at what's upsetting you. Check in and see if something within YOU that may need a little work! :)
Let's recognize and own our negative qualities and ease up on our judgments... shining our light of self-acceptance on those in our world!
