Who are you to determine if a person is good or bad?
‘Good’ people may do bad things for good reasons;
‘bad’ people may do good things for good reasons.
Unless you feel targeted or have been personally, honestly affected , then you have no legitimate excuse or reason for judging ANY other human being.
Even then, compassion and empathy can overcome whatever surface emotions you experience...
Give yourself a chance to be the level- headed, objective and humane soul you know you can be and have been.
Because at some point, I'm sure you had felt it in yourself,
that light- pure goodness;
whether it was while listening a bouncing baby's cheerful melody of coos,
when you rescued a homeless pup,
Or willingly helped a senior with a task-
Something must have allowed you to tap into your true peace, the moment you find it, keep it, access it and let it guide you in everyday life.
I believe in following your instincts - there are no room for doubts...especially self doubts.
Blatantly, if you don't believe and have faith in yourself ,
how could you possibly expect someone else to?
Be confident- and that can only happen if you
understand yourself,
love yourself,
encourage yourself,
respect and take care of yourself
and to remember that you don't NEED anyone but *yourself
Most people don't realize it but if anyone sends negative energy to you- through words, actions or insinuations-
That you can simply refuse to accept it and maintain your own positive energy,
leaving you *unaffected,
pleasant and in control of your own emotions.
If you process rapidly, you'd be able to see that whatever that person may say or do has nothing to do with you- It's just a reflection of their feelings towards themselves
( e.g calling someone ugly because you truly feel ugly in a different way, of course you wouldn't be able to see the beauty of another when you don't appreciate and understand your own inner beauty...so you throw those emotions at someone else because you are stuck on surface thinking and want a 'quick fix'
Well, quick fixes are the worst, with anything!
I was 15 when a classmate threw insults my way but I understood they were because of her insecurities.
I told her and I remember because after, she just looked straight at me she didn't have to say anything,
I just knew she didn't mean it and that she was sorry.
I saw it in her eyes. . .
I said "That's not a very nice thing to tell someone... you don't know what I could be going through right now, but hey, I believe I'm a beautiful soul and I've been around you for quite some time and I can safely say I believe you are too, I hope you deal with whatever you're going through right now and beat it..."
She was still just looking at me...so i said "It's okay, I forgive you"
We never became good friends because I'm picky with my close friends but from then on, she always greeted me pleasantly and never said a bad thing against me ever again :D
- high school win!, drama and conflict averted-
Forgiveness can lead to wonderful outcomes.
Try it right now!
Start with yourself!
Forgive yourself right now for something that you are not proud of.
You'll feel lighter...literally too, somehow, you feel the weight off of you.
If you feel that, Your mind found a bit of peace. <3
Back to first topic-->
Yes, we are entitled to our own opinions, if it won't do any good, keep those opinions to yourself.
God is the judge of you, YOU are the judge of you.
Which is the same thing because we are a fraction of God.
Our souls are reflections of God.
To love yourself is to love God.
To insult another person is to insult God.
For God exists in everyone and everything..
YOu can't change people....you can only change yourself.
Everything....starts ...with...YOU!
