Let's Get Out Of The Habit Of Judging Each Other

In today's world where anything and everything is posted, it makes it incredibly easy to comment unnecessary opinions and judgment onto others. Everyone feels like they're being watched, and for good reason. Nothing is private which allows judgment to be easier than ever.

Everyone, including myself, is guilty of looking at other people's posts and thinking negative thoughts. "Is she really wearing that?" "Why would he post that?" Judging people is an inevitable part of being human. It's natural and normal.

I can't sit here and say "never judge someone again. If you do, then you're a bad person." That would be ridiculous and frankly, impossible. Instead of trying to be perfect human beings, we should simply try to get out of the habit.

Of course, negative and judgmental thoughts will come across our minds no matter what. But we can control how much and the actions of letting our thoughts be known. Next time you catch yourself unnecessarily judging someone, just tell yourself "hey, that person is a human being too. This is completely unnecessary to think this."

Though it may sound silly, people don't realize what a negative affect judging others has. Limiting those thoughts and snide comments allows for more positivity to sweep in. And this world can always use more positivity.

Try to get into the habit of only thinking of positive comments of other people. Doing so will make it hard to let judgement pour in. Yes, thinking positively 24/7 is impossible. But practicing those habits can only do good for your life and for other people's lives.

Thoughts affect everything. They effect your physical actions even unconsciously. Getting out of the habit of judging people will create someone who is more patient, kind, and loving.

There are already so many negative things in this world. We should make a continuous effort to bring more light and positvity. By limiting the amount of judgement we have of other people, a change will definitely be made. It is so easy to judge and think harshly but it creates so much insecurities and pain.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
