Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 728 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
A wise man taught that everything we see, whether good or bad, is really a reflection of ourselves. If it was not, we would simply not see it. This phenomenon is part of the kindness that the Creator has given to us. This is the way that He teaches us a lesson in life.
Most of us have difficulty hearing or finding out from others that we have a flaw, that we don’t recognize. In order for us to figure it out in a way that we would accept, the Creator sets up a confrontation with a person who exhibits the same flaw in some form. When we see it, we react by saying, “How terrible is that! I can’t believe it.” But then it dawns on us that we exhibit the same type of behavior, maybe in a different form.
The same is also true with positive things. We recognize a positive characteristic in others because we have it in ourselves. If we didn’t have any element of it we would not be able to recognize it. In other words, you are what you see and you see what you are. This is all about facing yourself. That’s what the world is.
It’s interesting that many people who passed away in Germany, during the war in the 1930’s, could not and did not recognize the evil at that time. The reason for this is because they had not ever done it themselves. They could not fathom that anyone could murder in cold blood while being so critical of the things they were doing – and feel so good about it.
You see, if you’re incapable of crying, it’s impossible to imagine that someone else is capable of it. There are atrocities today that we can’t even relate to because we are not capable of doing such things ourselves. The same is true for goodness or holiness. Many of us are cynical because we feel that we’ve never met someone who’s truly good or truly honest. But the truth is, we have, and it is you.
You can face yourself by knowing that you are truly good, if you want to. If you do good. By doing good yourself, you will see good in others and you will share that same feeling. They will see the good and you will see the good. They will become better and you will become better. The whole world then affects each other. Higher, better, and stronger, without any end to it. This is the reason for the world’s creation. Make it happen.
