So we talk about all of these concepts, such as love, happiness, forgiveness, relationships, etc.  When you read about these concepts, things may make sense to you.  However, when you get out into the world, you may find that practicing these things is not so easy.

For example, suppose we are talking about how your mate reflects back to you what you present to him or her.  You might have a difficult time truly believing that is what is happening, since it requires you to look in the mirror to see what it is you are actually presenting to your mate.  You may have a difficult time letting go of the ego to truly see yourself in a truthful way.

When you interact with your mate you may not see the “reality” of others.  You might have a different reality of the situation and the relationship.  Even if you do believe that what you give out is what the world reflects back to you, you might not “see” it when it is happening to you.

Let’s say you are on your way to work, and you pull out on the main thoroughfare, and another driver thinks you pulled out in front of him, and honks his horn in anger.  You can see the person sending you anger in a much hurtful manner.  Now, you can escalate the situation and send anger back his way, or you might look at that as a reflection of the anger that you have sent out to the world.

If you look honestly at the situation, you will understand that you need to evaluate the anger that you have been sending towards others.  The “world” is now reflecting that back to you.  Rather than getting mad yourself at the other driver, you might ask, “have I been angry at others lately?”  Or, “do I have anger pent-up inside of me?”  When you begin to look at yourself, rather than looking at how poorly others are behaving, you will begin to open up to your own truth.  You will begin to start the process of releasing the anger, (in this case), to let it go.

Often times, the “other driver” in this case, is actually doing us a favor.  By sending anger our way, we are reminded of the anger that we have been sending outward to others as well.  We are reminded that the world is reflecting back what we are putting out.  Keep in mind, it works in the reverse as well.

Maybe someone does a random act of kindness for us, or sends a happy smile our way when we pass a stranger on the street.  That is a smile and an act of love being reflecting back to us.  That is an indication that we are sending love and smiles outward to the world.  What you “put out to the world” is what you will get reflected back to you.

Much like your voice echoing back to you in a canyon, the world echoes back to you the energy that you send to it.  Maybe today you should start sending out positive, loving, energy so that you may feel positive and loved yourself!
