I just read an article on Beliefnet.com and thought I'd share a paragraph that had me nodding my head: "The Bible admonishes, "Judge not lest ye be judged." But in my experience, it's impossible not to judge. We all do it, all the time. And it hurts us far more than those we judge. It isolates us, makes us small, and bars us from our spiritual essence." Everyone, everyone, everyone is judgemental. Our brains are wired to judge the words and actions of other people. The trick is to not let judging others consume us. The article goes on to offer a very practical approach to letting go of judgemental feelings and there is related article called The Seven Steps to Forgive and Forget which is also very good. Read the articles and let me know what you think.

"Everyone has a talent; what is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads." ~Erica Jong Without comparing yourself to anyone, think of things that you are good at. You don't have to be an award winning anything to have talent at it. What are things that you enjoy doing? Think of them now. It can be one thing or ten things, the number doesn't matter as much as being able to identify where your talent lies.

The following is a quote that I received from my daily MorningMantra today. It is from Anthony Robbins. I think my favorite part is about being an excellent example of being human. Part of that includes screwing up and I think that we tend to forget that mistakes are a part of life. Don't be too hard on yourself...or anyone else for that matter. We're all learning as we go. "Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human." ~Anthony Robbins
