Have you ever heard the phrase, “they’re just mirroring you”? It sounds abstract, but let’s put it in plain terms.
Sometimes the universe sends us people who trigger us. They irritate us. They bring up anger, jealousy, or insecurity. At first, our reaction might be, “How dare they act like that?” But if we’re willing to step back, breathe, and look deeper, we might find the truth: this was a purposeful encounter. A divine appointment.
The Gift of a Trigger
A trigger isn’t random. It’s the universe’s way of holding up a mirror and saying: “Turn that finger around. Look within.” That person’s behavior struck a chord because something inside of us, an insecurity, an old wound, an emotional scar…needed to be brought to the surface and healed.
Instead of pushing the trigger away, we can learn to be grateful for it. Because these uncomfortable moments are molding us, fine-tuning us, turning us into wiser, stronger, more enlightened versions of ourselves.
Karmic Lessons and Letting Go
Not everyone who walks into your life is meant to stay. Some encounters are karmic lessons, here to teach you, stretch you, and then move on. They arrive for a season and a reason. And when the lesson is complete, it’s okay (and necessary) to release them.
Letting go isn’t easy. Sometimes we cling out of attachment, even when we know deep down it’s time.
That tension takes strength to navigate, but every time you honor your intuition and release what no longer serves you, you grow lighter and freer.
The Role of Intuition
I pray often for wisdom and discernment, and I meditate on it daily. Do I get it right 100% of the time? Absolutely not! I’m human. But more often than not, my intuition is spot on. And when I trust it, I find clarity in situations where my emotions want to hold on.
Your mirrors are not punishments, they’re teachers. The people who trigger you are not sent to break you down, but to help you break free from the baggage you’ve been carrying. Learn from them. Release them when you need to. And know this: every mirror is shaping you into the truest, strongest, most authentic version of yourself.
