Check your psychic mirror


HAS ANYONE ever infuriated you so much that you said things you later regretted? Perhaps you even `took them home' with you, and let your memories of them aggravate you hours later?

Sometimes it's the way a person speaks that instantly irritates. Sometimes it's their `attitude' that enrages. Who are these people for you?

`Seeing red' is a sign you're looking in the mirror! As William Thackeray, the English novelist said:

"The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face".

The next time someone makes your blood boil, check your psychic mirror. Perhaps they're only reflecting something about yourself you don't like very much. When this happens, it becomes an irrational trigger that drives you wild!

People who enrage us like this can teach us a lot about ourselves!
