It is a difficult task to concentrate on the good qualities of a person when you have overlooked the good qualities in yourself. For such a long time you have expected perfection from yourself. Because of this you tend to expect if from others as well. Good is just never good enough.
Until you begin to acknowledge the beauty you possess you will never be able to appreciate the beauty of another. This is not to say their beauty will go unrecognized by your mind, however. For the mind will be the first to recognize it and then despise it. The despise is rooted in envy. For the minds sees it as something that is lacking in itself. So, the good in the person won’t be seen because you will be busy trying to destroy what you perceive as your enemy. You can’t draw on other people’s blessings tot try and achieve perfection. You can’t achieve perfection, instead you must build yourself up using your own gifts and talents.
When you find yourself in conflict go to the root of the problem and you will find yourself staring in the mirror. See the beauty and treasure of your soul and allow your heart be the window which you view others.
Much love,
Christ
