The Art of Judgment


Judgment, how many times do we run into this, not only with others but inside ourselves. Judgment can be something that we become aware of when our lives become unbalanced. Often it will come with a fear that we are carrying inside because if there is only love in our hearts there is no room for what we fear.

Often we think that others are very judgmental but if you really get down to the nitty gritty of listening to our own inner being inside ourselves we will find that judgment of the self is so strong. As I have this amazing opportunity in my own life to interact and visit with people, I am able to reflect on myself. I find that we as human beings beat ourselves up for not being perfect and if it is not that then there is always something else we can find.

We hurt ourselves for; not being smart, our weight, our appearance, power, money, age, relationships, jobs, sex, control, and the list goes on.....
And as we do, we judge others by our own standards that we ourselves can't attain in life.

Why do I bring this up you ask? Because the first step to healing our emotions inside is to be aware of this and finding the fear or the lie that we accepted as truth. It is there in that awareness that we can free ourselves from our on inner bondage granting mercy to ourselves and others.

Looking at our judgments and fears as someone once said "are the first steps in a thousand mile journey to finding the peace inside". Yes, I know it is a long path that we will walk but think of the freedom in your soul you have when you get to the end.

Love and Blessings
