"We are all different. Don't judge,
understand instead."
Roy T. Bennett
If I am confident in being me, flaws and all, I am able to be more open to others. Individuals or groups threaten us when we are not secure in our sense of worth. If we sincerely believe we have value, others will not be able to discredit us quite so easily.
Walking through life with awareness, we will catch glimpses of the unique qualities sometimes hidden within others. We may engage in a conversation with a waiter in a small cafe and learn that he is a serious musician or a sales clerk an accomplished artist. In a gas station a motorcyclist might strike up a conversation and we learn that he is an orthopedic surgeon.
Life is about admiring the differences between us, not judging them. Wealth may appear in the health of family as abundance might be gathered in aspects of joy. Duplicating the examples set by others often leave us unfulfilled and despondent. We must find our own strength and build upon it, understanding that each of us are entitled to find an authentic way.
