Stay In Your Lane & Judge Not!

“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation.  It’s one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it’s another to think that yours in the only path.”
~ Paulo Coelho

A teenage mom could possibly be a victim of rape.  An obese person could battle a thyroid condition.  A homeless person may have no family and lived from paycheck to paycheck before becoming that way.  A woman with patches of hair could be in her initial stages of cancer treatment.  A timid child could be experiencing abuse at home.  Often while living our “diamond lives” we tend to inaccurately assume the plight and/or path of another.  It can be almost natural for some people to create a swirling torrent of blame and judgment about a person’s situation without knowing the back story.  Life has a way of throwing all of us curves and no one has the right to judge another.  Today’s challenge is to proceed with caution when judging others and redirecting our focus to what path WE are taking in this life.   

Make sure you are leading an exemplary life before even thinking of judging another.  Part of being the best you can be is realizing that everyone will go down a different path and yours may not be the best!  Often times, others may be experiencing a life that they never expected.  You will never know this if you have a tendency to judge before you know the truth about WHY a person is in their position.  Never assume that someone is not trying their best or failing to make the most of their situation.  Combat bad habits of creating unnecessary judgment by finding out the truth and speaking no evil towards or about a person regardless of what it may be!  When you recognize where you have come from, it can be easier to lessen the negative attitudes and opinions of another person.  Remember that nobody’s life will be perfect including your own.  If you spend your time honing in on where you are going, there will be little to no time for anything else.  Use your time wisely to ensure the path YOU are taking is the one that will increase your success and lessen your stress!     

Positive Energy Only!
No matter where you are in life, always recognize that your path will continue to change and will differ from that of someone else.  You don’t want to burn any bridges along the way or invite in any negative energy from judging others.  The same people you judge on the way up may be the same people you need on the way down.  So the next time you set your thoughts in motion about someone else’s choices or their path, replace those thoughts, redirect your energy and rededicate your time to where you are going!  Until next time my loves!
