A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile(敌意的)person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.

Mirrors have a very particular　 __36__. They reflect the image in front of them. Just as a　 __37__　 mirror works as the vehicle to reflection, __38__　 do all of the people in our lives.

When we see something beautiful such as a flower garden, that garden　 __39__　 a reflection. When we love someone，it's a(n)　 __40__　 of loving ourselves. We have often heard things like “I love how I am when I'm with that person”. That simply　 __41__　 into “I'm able to love me when I love that other person”.　 __42__， when we meet someone new, we feel as though we “click”. Sometimes it's as if we've　 __43__　 each other for a long time. That feeling can come from　 __44__　 similarities.

Just as the “mirror” or other people can be a positive reflection，it is more likely that we'll　 __45__ it when it has a negative connotation(内涵).　 __46__，it's easy to remember the times when we have met someone we're not particularly　 __47__　 about. We may have some criticism(批评)in our mind about the　 __48__. This is especially true when we get to know someone with whom we would rather spend　 __49__　 time.

Often, when we　 __50__　 qualities in other people, ironically(讽刺地), it's usually the mirror that's　 __51__　 to us.

At times we meet someone　 __52__　 and feel distant disconnected, or disgusted.　 __53__　 we don't want to believe it，and it's not easy or　 __54__　 to look further，it can be a great learning lesson to　 __55__　 what part of the person is being reflected in you. It's simply just another way to create more self?awareness.

When I was 17, I read a quote: “If you live each day as if it were your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made a(n) 　36 on me，and since then，for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the 　37 day of my life，would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to 　38 something．

Remembering that I’ll be 　39 soon is the most important tool to help me make the big choices in life, 　40 　almost everything—all expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—just falls away in the face of death, 　41 only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to 　42 . You are already naked．There is no reason not to follow your heart.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to 　43 don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever 　44 it, because Death is very likely to be the single best invention of Life. It clears out the old to 　45 for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will 　46 become the old and be cleared away.

　 Your time is 　47 , so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice．Everything else is secondary.
