"If you admire greatness in another human being, it is your own
greatness you are seeing. [...] If you did not possess that quality you
would not be attracted by it."
— Debbie Ford
I have been writing a lot about how the non-positive focuses in our
life tend to show us the less than complementary attributes of our
personality and our life. We must also remember the opposite of all
that works as well, and sometimes even more powerfully.
For example, when you think of someone you admire, all the positive
things you attribute to that person are within you as well. If you
admire Oprah because she is so influential, it is because there is
something about you that helps to influence others. If you like Martha
Stewart because she continues to go strong in her business despite all
her past challenges, it is because you too are strong in the face of a
challenge.
So keep thinking about all the people you admire in your life, see
their beauty, because it is truly a reflection of what is admirable in
you as well.
