Half of the modern drugs could well be thrown out of the window, except that the birds might eat them.

We have all known people whose personalities and actions tend to push our buttons. They are everywhere, they are our co-workers, postal employees, and family members. We all know some of these people and they are indeed irritating. But most of us have never stopped to consider that these people can serve as our greatest teachers. These individuals serve as our mirrors and teach us what needs to be revealed about ourselves. Seeing what we don't like in others helps us look deeper inside ourselves for similar traits and challenges that need healing, balancing, or changing.

Our society is full of people who, through their own limiting beliefs, have settled into becoming victims of their circumstances. They feel powerless to make changes in their lives because they think that the elements of their lives are out of their control. All too often they're quick to ask, "Why do bad things keep happening to me? "You probably know someone like this. They are the "why me?" people who always seem to have an excuse for the things in their life that aren't working. And much of what is in their lives isn't working as well as it could be. They have poor health or bad relationships; they have dead-end jobs or chronic financial problems.
