Stay Humble in What You See

When you understand someone's shadow, you stop asking, "Why are they doing this to me?"

You start asking, "What is this protecting them from?"

That shift changes how you respond. It changes how you hold your boundaries. It changes how much of someone else's behavior you're willing to take personally.

A warning that comes with awareness

The more shadow work you do, the more clearly you begin to see the shadow in others. And if you're not careful, that clarity can quietly turn into arrogance.

Understanding someone's patterns does not make you better than them.

Seeing what they cannot yet see does not make you superior.

Stay humble in what you see. That's part of the practice, too.
