Have you ever met someone and the first thing on your mind is to judge the way they look, or how they shake your hand?
Why are those things important to you? Why are you expecting them to meet your standards? What are you looking for? Who are you trying to impress? What gials are you trying to accomplish?
Christianity has come a long way in upsetting the Spiritual balance between humanity and God.
It was written: God is for us. If God is for us, who can be against us. (Romans 8:31)
Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel (1 Corinthians 15: 3-4) to every creature." (Mark 16:15)
As a Christian, what was it about Jesus' story that inspired you? Was it the way he treated women? How he cried when his brother-in-law died? Or was it the way he spoke to authorities?
Have you ever considered that maybe the life of Christ may have impacted your life in which may have brought you closer to God? If not, why is that? What was the lost translation? What have you done about it?
So, who's judging who now? When you realize that you're not so much different from the rest of the world, you have gained so much unprecedented conviction that you're overwhelmed with what to do.
The first step is acceptance. Accept the fact that you are not the center of the universe. You are incapable of controlling your thoughts and feelings. Neither can you or able to control others opinions about you.
The next step is enlightenment. Reflect on the things that happened. Allow yourself a leeway in criticism. Nobody's perfect. It's easier said than done; but healing is a process. It takes time and effort. If you allow yourself to wallow in self-pity, your wounds will fester and weaken your soul, mind and body.
Lastly, forgive. Forgive yourself for the mistakes you made. Life happens when you react before you respond conscientiously. You're unprecedented conviction to impose yourself to the world can be manageable. Compromise as often as you possibly can. Choose your words wisely rather than speak your mind. You're capable of achieving this goal. Forgive yourself when you fail. Life was never meant to be easy if you want to live a long and meaningful life.
Nothing in this life is tangible. If you learn to be flexible and adaptable, you're golden. You can be anything you want to be. Every thing will be possible for you. Opportunity will knock on your door.
The next time you decide to inflect your opinions on others, consider the other person's unprecedented conviction towards you.
