“Friends are the mirror reflecting the truth of who we are.”

Have you ever had someone say or do something that really bothered you? It could have even been something that was even very minor, but it irked you or maybe even angered you at the time.

What should you do in such a situation? Ignore it? Walk away from it? Make a conscious effort not to feel that way again? Actually you should walk right into it. I’m not saying you should start a confrontation with the other person. But in your mind, you should start examining why that issue bothered you so much because it was a clear message that there is a strong lesson in it all.

You may discover that the reason it triggered such a strong emotional reaction was because it reflects something in you that needs to be recognized and dealt with within yourself. Someone around you always angry? What anger issues have you been ignoring within yourself? Lazy people really bother you? What are you procrastinating doing in your life? And so on.
