21 Habits of Happy People
14. Mind Their Own Business - “Concentrate on creating your life the way you want it. Take care of you and your family. Don’t get overly concerned with what other people are doing or saying. Don’t get caught up with gossip or name calling. Don’t judge. Everyone has a right to live their own life the way they want to – including you.”
There was a time where I felt I was judged based on my appearance. I had decided to quit smoking for my art and had gained 25 pounds in the process. I was very self conscious. I also started resenting every skinny chick singer. Who was judging who?
When I realized that I was also judging people based on their appearance it was like a shock to me. Since I was the victim of my choices (I am being very facetious here) I was the one (in my mind) who was suffering the judgement of others. It could not be that I was acting improperly. After all I couldn’t possibly be name calling. I mean those other people are always soooooo unkind. Apparently I was also DEEP in the judgement trap and judging myself in the process.
It was very liberating to take responsibility for my behavior once I was able to recognize it. It is true, concentrating of creating the life I wanted was the turning point. Now I know, we never know what is going on in people’s lives and we can never judge.
Namaste!
