Why You Should Never Judge Yourself

Do not judge yourself. You are good enough for yourself. Don’t worry about what other people are saying. Just focus on getting better every day.

Remember, no one is a perfect being. We all have our hidden flaws. You can’t control other people, but you can control yourself. You can control what you tell yourself. You can trust yourself. You can believe in yourself.

Remember why you are alive. Your purpose is to be your real self, not to worry about other people’s opinions. Worry about them, or growth, happiness, is yours to miss.

When you judge yourself, you are not helping yourself. You are assaulting yourself. According to Don Miguel Ruiz, ‘Self-judgment is an assault, and so is self-contempt. It’s an attack on the body to pity ourselves, to worry, or to obsess.’

No matter what you have been through in your life, no matter what you are going through right now, do not assault yourself. Do not judge yourself.

You are who you are for a reason. Do not change anything about yourself. When you do, you are no longer you, the real you. You are someone else.

You are no longer living your own life. You are living other people’s lives.

Your purpose is to live your life, not to judge your life.

The Power Of Respect

Respect is powerful. It is not what we demand from other people. Respect is what we give to other people.

When you respect other people for who they are, they will respect you for who you are. So if you value respect, then always respect other people.

When you respect other people, you are not respecting them; you are respecting yourself.

Here are three benefits of respect, according to Don Miquel Ruiz, ‘Respect is the solution to humanity’s problems, from global unrest, to playground scuffles, to the dedicate balance of power that exists in our own minds.’

‘Respect opens the door to cooperation and understanding in any culture.’

Respect means we honor everyone’s right to exist. Respect is the best part of love.”
