Judging other people\u2019s life choices is not ok. Yep, you heard me. At every corner of life we are bombarded with people, situations, and events that naturally elicit feelings and thoughts of judgment\u2014if we give into it.\u00a0 Simply stated, someone else\u2019s choices, actions, and lifestyles are NOT our concern.\u00a0 We are not perfect beings\u2014we are here to learn, grow, and evolve.\u00a0 This means we sometimes do things that go against society\u2019s moral fiber, and is, in my opinion, nothing more than a perception we can choose to accept or reject.\u00a0 Now, I\u2019m not speaking of crimes against humanity such as rape and murder.\u00a0 I\u2019m talking about every day life.<\/p>\n

Wasting time and energy judging someone else<\/strong><\/a>, where they are in their lives, choices they\u2019ve made and the like, lowers our own energetic vibration, creates resistance, and actually drags us into someone else\u2019s karma.\u00a0 Plus, when we are busy judging other people instead of remaining neutral and supportive, we are not honoring ourselves or those we are judging.\u00a0 Our higher power, call it God, Buddha, Christ, or enlightenment, is not vengeful, but loving.\u00a0 We create our own consequences, which we have to answer to personally \u2026 at some point down the line.<\/p>\n

When I receive calls about relationship issues from someone who needs help regarding love triangles within a marriage, I far too frequently hear that the caller has come to me because they\u2019ve been rejected by others. This breaks my heart \u2026 people don\u2019t create these painful situations intentionally and more often than not, they need much more support than ever to find a resolution. As human beings out of touch with our divine spiritual essence, through our weaknesses we get drawn and stuck in less than ideal situations. This is because we haven\u2019t yet discovered our personal power<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jesus did not judge others. Neither did the Buddha. They showed love and healing for all.\u00a0 This is what being a human is all about– unconditional love.\u00a0 In a society that claims the majority of its participants refer to themselves as Christians, I would personally like to see a higher level of acceptance and understanding<\/strong><\/a> for our fellow humans.\u00a0 You\u2019ve heard the expression \u201cIf you give a man a fish you feed him for a day, but if you teach him how to fish you feed him for a lifetime\u201d\u2026 in this case we\u2019re not criticizing the man for not knowing how to fish and refusing to help, instead we are teaching through example.<\/p>\n

We are not here to judge each other \u2014 we\u2019re here to help each other by setting loving examples.\u00a0 As a group collective, we can create more harmony and balance on both the large scale and the small by practicing acceptance, tolerance, love, understanding, and support.\u00a0 When we respond negatively to others without intending to, we are feeding their negative cycle as well as becoming enmeshed in it, inevitably creating our own.\u00a0 Love, support, and understanding, is a much more powerful teacher than judgment or condemnation will ever be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
