How To Grow Through Life

‘Do not just go by outward signs; try to reach the meaning behing them.’- Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Why are you judging yourself? Why are you judging your boss, your manager? Why are you judging your friends?

Do not judge people. Because people are going through things. Instead of judging them, why not try to understand where they are coming from?

If done well, it is better than judging them.

Because judging other people is not going to make things better. It is not going to bring people closer to you.

If something is not clear to you, don’t judge. Go to work. Try to understand what is going on. Try to know what the other person is going through. Because you do not know what is going on in their lives.

And people are going through things. Just because they are not talking to you, or talking to others, that doesn’t mean they are not going through things.

If you want to know what is going on in other people’s lives, you have got to know them. To know them, you have got to love them. To love them, you have got to accept them. And to accept them, you have got to see them as human beings.

And to see other people as human beings, you must first see yourself as a human being.

If not, if you do not have the courage to see yourself as you truly are, you will not grow through life. You will go through life.

The question is, ‘Are you growing through life, or are you going through life?’
