When we reject our unacceptable traits, we project them. We see someone else with the traits we would like to acquire and this usually comes in the form of envy.
However, the only way we can acquire the unacceptable traits is by accepting them and then identify with the trait. This is not easy because our ego wants safety at all costs and to be identified with the trait that was unacceptable is very difficult. However, the task is not impossible but the trick is instead of being envious, be conscious of what we are projecting.
Are you projecting your Significance or owning it?
