This is one of the many ways to look at life. A very helpful perspective, if you were to ask me. As always, I am not sharing it as the absolute truth, but as a possibility to learn from. Here we go:

Life is a school of mirrors. Every situation is a lesson. The people we meet are our teachers. What are the mirrors that the school of life is reflecting back to you in this moment?

You always react in a certain way when xyz is happening.

→ If this situation is a lesson – what is it about?

You get triggered by the same person over and over again.

→ If this person is your teacher – what are they trying to teach you?

Situations and people are merely pulling the trigger. It is you who carries the explosive charge. Investigate into the explosive charge within you!

→ Where does this emotion come from?

→ When was the first time it showed up in your life?

→ What is this emotion trying to tell you?

The mirrors of the school of life surround you at all times, ready to reflect your current lesson back to you.

Are you willing to take a good look and learn?

It’s up to you, always. Life is patient. And yet, what you need to learn won’t go away. It will keep coming back again, again and again until you’re ready to face it, meet it, love it and integrate it.
