Judging Others

 

Judging Others

Form, give, have an opinion, or make a decision about someone, often negatively, based on their actions, looks, clothes, where they live, lifestyle, character, beliefs, or what others say about them




We have all done or been in this situation at some point in our lives, formed an opinion about someone without even knowing them or the truth. How do we really know someone or someone’s truth if we aren’t willing to know or find out the truth?

How can we honestly form an opinion by clothing, housing, hairstyles, looks, weight, colour of skin, relatives, friends, vehicle, education, job/career, gossip…the list goes on to how opinions are formed about others.

Just because someone has money, this doesn’t mean that they have it all; just like someone who doesn’t have money – they could have a lot of things in common. We don’t know if we aren’t willing to find out. Don’t judge what you don’t honestly know.

Can you honestly say what a person is all about just from a look? I have heard people say that they can tell who that person is just by looking at them??? Or how about this one – first impressions??? How do you know what that person went through before they met you that day??? Or maybe they are shy or don’t have great communication skills – should you judge them without really knowing them?

Matthew 7:1-5. 1Judge not, that ye be not judged.2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

The next time you see or meet someone for the first time, remember you don’t know what is truly in their heart.

I wish you an amazing week filled with love, happiness, prosperity, kindness, and positivity.

 

With Gratitude,

Pride

Image
  Self-Pride Pride Pride: is a human secondary emotion characterized by a sense of security with one's identity, performance, or accomplishments; a feeling that you respect yourself and deserve to be respected by other people self-respect     We take pride in our achievements and the achievement of others because we are proud of those achievements. Taking pride in ourselves and recognizing our own self-worth, personal qualities, and achievements can boost our self-esteem, can build our confidence, can make us more self-reliant, and can motivate us to take the steps needed to move forward toward our goals. There are benefits in taking pride in all that we do. Self-pride challenges us to step out of our comfort zone and take on difficult tasks, reflect on the tasks we have completed and how far we come, to be proud of the accomplishments we have made, and we are not too proud to work with others or get help from others . There is also danger in being too prideful...

What does Living a Disciplined Life Mean to You

Image
  I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me Discipline is a very important personality trait in our life. It signifies a set of rules and regulations we set for ourselves to be followed while facing any task or activity. It is a way of being honest, faithful, inspired, and encouraged while doing any task. This is a person who has strong self-control, sticks to a consistent framework of rules and/or habits, and they have the inner strength to resist temptations even when it is difficult or feels unpleasant. A disciplined person has the ability to control impulses, maintain focus, and exhibit willpower, allowing them to live their life with purpose in pursuit of their goals.    Most of us are living some sort of disciplined life whether we are aware of it or not. We all want to live a life where we are the best version of ourselves and live our lives not only on purpose, but with purpose.   Living a disciplined life means that we set rules for the life th...

Addiction

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7 Addiction   Addiction ( There are two main forms of addiction: substance use disorders and behavioral addictions ) - the fact or condition of being *addicted to a particular substance, thing, or activity; one strongly inclined to do, use, or indulge in something repeatedly   Almost everyone suffers from some form of addiction, something that seems to have more power or control over us than we would like it to. This could be food, sugar, alcohol, drugs, approval, cigarettes, money, power, anything, …     There is no one reason why a person becomes addicted to something, only they can answer that question. We don’t know their situation or what they have been through to get to where they are. We don’t know what triggers them – it could be a phone call, a text, something they hear, someone they see, something they smell, it could be anything.   For many tod...
