Mirrors

According to the Law of Attraction, thoughts become things. Everything we think about we manifest....the good and the bad. Well, there really isn’t good or bad, it is what it is and it’s all in your perspective...but that’s a whole other topic! I manifested my apartment, my job, my furniture, everything I own. I decided that I wanted these things in my life and there they were. Of course, things didn’t just miraculously appear – it doesn’t necessarily happen that way. I had to manifest my job so I could earn the money, but I have to get up 5 days a week and go to work to make the money, so that I could buy my things. But sometimes things do just fall into your lap and sometimes you don’t have to do anything for something to come into your life. We are all powerful manifesters, but unfortunately, most people go through life not having a clue they are doing it!

We also manifest all the relationships we have in our lives. The people that come into our lives are mirrors of ourselves. It’s wonderful when we find people that mirror all the good, but that can only happens when that is what we truly believe about ourselves. But the truth is, we usually don’t like what the other person mirrors because it is the toughest thing for us to accept in ourselves. Its like Alice Through the Looking Glass - are you really seeing a part of you in the people in your life? Can you handle what you see? Can you accept the reality?

For instance, if you have the belief that people always take advantage of you, then most likely you are going to attract people that take advantage of you. Or what if you’re a person that never puts yourself first? Then you will most likely attract friends and lovers that will do the same to you....their actions speak louder than their words. It doesn’t mean these are “bad” people. They may, in fact, be very kind and caring people. But its that one thing about them that you don’t like, but because they are so wonderful in every other way you decide its ok to keep them in your life.....well, that and the fact that somewhere deep inside you, you feel you don’t deserve any better.

But what happens when you change the very thing you don’t like about yourself that attracted these people? What do you do about those relationships that no longer serve their purpose to reinforce your negative beliefs about yourself because you have grown past them, learned your lesson and have changed the way you think & feel about yourself? Do you just walk away from them or do give them the opportunity to change?

What do you think? Seriously, I really want to hear your opinion!

Thanks!
