Loving Your Reflection in Mentoring
I have spent the last two posts talking about my all-time favorite “mentoring manual”, as I like to call it.
This short piece, composed by an author whose name remains unknown, and entitled simply, “Rules for Being Human”, has done more to reassure and strengthen me for the journey yet ahead than probably any other single piece of literature I have ever read (and I LOVE to read).
For some reason, I started the discussion going backwards, so after reviewing and discussing rules 10, 9, and 8 in previous posts, respectively, in this post we now arrive at Rule #7, which states:
Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
Ouch. Right?
OUCH.
