"Doubt yourself and you doubt everything you see. Judge yourself and you see judges everywhere. But if you listen to the sound of your own voice, you can rise above doubt and judgment. And you can see forever.” You and I, we judge others. And they judge us. We all do it. Sometimes we judge with positive or non-harming intentions.Sometimes are judgements are more righteous and sometimes with malice. And during this time of societal realignment, we all seem to be judging others a lot. We judge the way others are experiencing and reacting to the pandemic. And we judge people for not being aligned with what we believe is the right thing to do or be. However, all our judgements usually are a reflection of our own fear; our own helplessness and our own feelings of not being good enough. By making them wrong for being who they were, we somehow give ourselves a temporary boost—a feeling of being okay—because we apparently know better than anyone else what is "right". However, all this judgement and righteousness leaves all of us separated and stuck in a world filled with fear and now, violence. Today, set your intentions to stop yourself from judging others for being who they are. Today, allow the judgements to pass through your mind without giving them lots of time and attention. The most important thing is that in the moments when you become aware that you are holding on to unkind thoughts about someone a bit too much, understand that it’s not really about them, it’s about you and the way you are feeling about yourself.We certainly need to be discerning between right and wrong, but is it never fair to make people wrong for being different than us or not living their lives in accordance with our ideals. The more we give a person space to be who they are, the more we give ourselves permission to be who we are. Today, recognize that judging is preventing us from understanding a new truth. Today, it is time to free ourselves from the rules of old judgments and create the space for new understanding.

Just for today, I release the need to judge or criticize anyone, including myself. We are all living the best we know how with the knowledge, understanding and awareness that we have right now. As I release judgement, judgemental people leave my life. I now accept everyone as they are including myself. I forgive everyone for not being who I want them to be. I am safe and Life brings me only good experiences. All is truly well in my world and out of this situation only good will come. And so it is.
