‘If he be not a true man, he will draw evil out of the best; … if he be a true man, he will imagine true things…’- George MacDonald

We are good at judging people we don’t even know. When we meet other people, instead of focusing on what they are good at, we are after their weaknesses.

We are trying to figure out our differences. We are trying to know where they are different from us. That is wrong!

If you focus on other people’s weaknesses, you will never see their strengths.

If you want to know people, give them time to tell you who they really are. And they will.

Do not judge people before you even know them. We are good at doing that. And that is why we never get it right. Always wrong!

It is always wrong because you can’t judge what you do not know.

How can you judge someone you don’t even know? You can’t. Why is that? Because people are changing. You are changing. I am changing. And the world around you is changing. Nothing stays the same, even dead things.

You are not alone. We judge people every day. To do it right, if it is even right, you must start with yourself.

If you do not know others, you don’t know yourself. If you know other people, you know yourself. Because we see ourselves through the actions of other people.

People are great at heart. Whenever you meet people, do not start by judging them. Instead, give them love. And they will love you back.

Whenever you meet people, focus on what they can do, not on what they can’t do. And they will show you what they can do.

‘If you don’t know what your mind is telling you, you can’t change the narrative.’- Julia Pimsleur

You can change the narrative if you know what your mind is telling you. If you want to hear your mind, you must listen. Do not ignore what your mind is telling you. If you do, you won’t grow.

To grow, you must be comfortable with yourself.

‘Having a gratitude practice simply means looking for things to feel positive about and noting them in order to refocus our attention on what is working well in our lives.’- Julia Pimsleur

You have a lot of things to be grateful for. Instead of looking at other people, you can celebrate what you have. You can celebrate your own success.

When you celebrate yourself, you will feel good about yourself. You will have more energy to keep going.

‘When you think of your obstacles as speed bumps, they begin to feel more manageable.’– Julia Pimsleur

If you want to have more things in your life, you must celebrate what you have. You must be grateful for what is working for you.

When you are grateful, you will have more to be grateful for.

‘It’s up to us to tell our own story– and to tell the one that allows us to do our biggest, boldest work.’- Julia Pimsleur

What you are telling yourself is more powerful than what other people are telling you.

If you do not change what you are telling yourself, your life is not going to change. If you have been telling yourself negative things, now is the right time to switch to positve things. It is not going to happen overnight. If you want it to work, you have got to be patient with yourself.
