It is so easy for us as human beings to judge those people who do, or say things in ways that we "disapprove of."In fact, judging and criticism people can become a habit-a habit which you can break! When we judge, we make someone or something wrong. And when we criticize others we only brings ourselves down. In fact, criticism locks us into the very pattern we’re trying to change.

Conversely understanding, compassion and being gentle with ourselves can help us move out of those negative patterns Today, be willing to accept yourself and others exactly as you/they are in this moment. Stop taking other people’s behavior and choices so personally, and understand that they, just like you and I, are only responding to life based on coping mechanisms that have been built as a result of their life experiences. Today, stop judging and criticizing yourself and others and begin to forgive yourself and others for just being human. Then allow yourself to accept everyone, including yourself for who you are right now.

Just for today, I forgive everyone for not being what I wanted them to be. I release all criticism of myself and others. As I release all judgement and criticism of others, judgemental people leave my life. I now accept everyone as they are, including myself.. I am free to love who I am. All is truly well in my world. And so it is.
