Remember you don’t like judging

I have never met anybody who said they want to become more judgmental. We know intrinsically that judging others doesn’t make us feel good. Yet, most people spend a considerable amount of their time judging others instead of taking responsibility for themselves, because it is easier. To take responsibility for ourselves means letting go of judgment and choosing curiosity, compassion, empathy, and discernment instead. This ultimately shifts that discernment back to ourselves, allowing us to live lives we love, rather than wishing others would live lives we love.

If you want to live a happier life, notice when you allocate your precious energy to judging and mentally managing someone else. Then use that extraordinary moment of awareness to return to your only responsibility: yourself.
