Stop judging
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
—ERIC CLAPTON
Before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean.
—BOB MARLEY
Judging goes hand in hand with the vices of blaming and
complaining;
on
your way to a happier, more fulfilling life that’s
another bad habit you have to leave behind!
Accept others without judging them, and without expectations. I
know that’s
easier said than done, but there is no way around it!
Think of it this way: each time you’re judging somebody, you
are actually judging yourself.
Isn’t it true that the things that bother
us the most about others are actually the
things that bother us the
most about ourselves?
Action Step:
Make a list of what bothers you the most about others.

A random act of kindness every day
One of the most difficult things to give away
is kindness; usually it comes back to you.
—ANONYMOUS
The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention.
—ANONYMOUS
How can you make the world a little bit better today and every day?
Why not be nice to a stranger every day? Be creative! Every now
and then I pay for two coffees instead
of the only one that I drank
and tell the server to save it, in case somebody needs it and can’t
pay for it entirely. In the supermarket, if I get a 10% discount voucher
for my next shopping trip, I usually give it to the person behind me in
line. You can offer your seat in the train or subway to somebody or
even just gift somebody with a smile. Acknowledge people sincerely,
treat people great, say “thank you” genuinely, hold the door open for
somebody, help somebody whose hands are full to carry something
or store away somebody’s heavy hand luggage on your next flight.
Be creative! Start today! The great thing is: “What goes around
comes around.” So, when you start doing random acts of kindness,
more kindness is coming back to you! Doing good begins to become
the same thing as feeling good. The good that we do for others really
does have the power to change us.
