ON JUDGING OTHER PEOPLE

The single worst quality I have going for me is a habit of making immediate-usually wrong-judgements of other people. I believe that breaking this habit is one of my greatest challenges this life game. I know I must stop making quick judgements and learn a new way of thinking about other people.

First step is to re-think how I think and feel about other people. I believe that most people live with the best of intentions and are generally positive in nature. So I give everyone the benefit of the doubt and pay love forward. I have been hurt badly a few times, but that has helped me to toughen up-which I badly needed.

It occurred to me one day to try an experiment. I noticed that positive people usually talk about the good things happening and use a lot of positive words as they talk. While the more negative you are the more likely you are to say negative and hurtful things. The words hate, and anger, and their brothers are used frequently.

So I determined that if I just accept people as they are, and instead of judging them immediately, listen to the words they are saying and count inside how many positive words they are saying and how many negative words they are saying, then I can quantify their character. Then I can make an accurate judgement of whether I want this person in my private life, or not.

See if this does not work for you also and then we can come to the end of our life games and know that we have done a lot lot of growing and that you have a love of ONE"s children. This is one of the two requirements for winning your life game; the other being to come to a knowledge that you are one with the ONE.
