OKTUBRE 28

Nakapagtataka kung paano bumalik sa akin ang ugali ko sa iba na parang pagtalbog ng basketbol mula sa isang bakbord. Ang pagkainip ko sa ibang tao ay kadalasang nagdudulot ng higit pang pagkainip sa aking sarili at sa aking mundo. Kapag hindi ako mabait sa isang tao, nagiging defensive ako at umaasa na ang iba ay hindi magiging mabait sa akin. Gayundin, kapag tinanggap ko ang isang tao nang walang kondisyon, nalaman kong mas ligtas ang aking buong mundo.

Kaya ito ay sa aking pinakamahusay na interes na tratuhin ang iba bilang nais kong tratuhin ako. Sinusubukan kong isipin na ang aking mga salita at kilos ay tinutugunan ang aking sarili, dahil sa katagalan, sa pangkalahatan ay nababawi ko ang aking ibinibigay.

Kung hindi ako nasisiyahan sa natatanggap ko, maaari kong subukang hanapin ang parehong pag-uugali sa aking sarili. Maaaring hindi ito eksaktong magkaparehong anyo, ngunit nalaman ko na anuman ang hindi ko gusto sa iba ay isang bagay na hindi ko gusto sa aking sarili. Totoo rin ang kabaligtaran: Ang hinahangaan ko sa iba ay malamang na nagpapakita ng isang kahanga-hangang katangian sa loob ko.

Paalala sa Araw na Ito

May isang bagay para sa akin na matuto mula sa bawat pakikipag-ugnayan ko sa ibang tao. Gagawa ako ng dagdag na pagsisikap ngayon upang mapansin ang mga saloobin na ibinibigay at natatanggap ko dahil pareho silang nakapagtuturo sa akin tungkol sa aking sarili.

“Kahit na naglalakbay tayo sa buong mundo upang mahanap ang maganda, dapat nating dalhin ito o hindi natin ito mahahanap.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

OCTOBER 28

It’s amazing how my attitude toward others tends to return to me like a basketball rebounding off a backboard. My impatience with other people often generates even more impatience with myself and my world. When I am unkind to someone, I get defensive and expect others to be unkind to me. Likewise, when I accept someone unconditionally, I find that my whole world feels safer.

So it’s in my best interest to treat others as I wish to be treated. I try to imagine that my words and actions are being addressed to myself, because in the long run I generally get back what I give out.

If I am unhappy with what I receive, I might try looking for that same behavior in myself. It may not take exactly the same form, but I find that whatever I dislike in another is something that I dislike in myself. The reverse is also true: What I admire in others probably reflects an admirable quality within me.

Today’s Reminder

There is something for me to learn from every interaction I have with other people. I will make an extra effort today to take note of the attitudes I’m giving and receiving because they both can teach me about myself.

“Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson
