Reflection of Relationship refers to the following quote:
"If you are willing to see another person's behavior toward you as a reflection of the state of their relationship with themselves rather than a statement about your value as a person, then you will, over a period of time cease to react at all." ~ Yogi Bhajan
Whether you're responding to harsh criticisms, aggressive actions, or fielding similar offense from someone—it's wise to take pause and view such as a reflection of the relationship they have with themselves. In this, you can respond from a place of empathy—bypassing unnecessary conflict.
