Spiritual Awakening: Judge Thee Lest The Be Judged!!!
As part of the spiritual awakening process it is imperative to remove judgment and detach from situations so that you can make the mind, body, soul connection. It is important to leave the EGO at the door and to allow things to flow as GOD has a master plan for you. It is when we judge that we miss out on what can be a great interaction or experience. How many times have you made a decision based on your pre judgment only to find out that you missed out on a personal and professional growth experience? How many times have you forgot everything and ran because you pre judged the experience instead of committing to the experience and facing everything and rising.? How many times have you looked passed someone and lost out on an opportunity to be lifted because your EGO got in the way? Judgment is perhaps the biggest obstacle to becoming awake and aware. When you remove judgment and begin to interact with people you will see amazing thing happen.
Spiritual Awakening: Judge Thee Lest Thee Be Judged- Case Studies!!!
I was recently at my local Starbucks and a gentleman walked in and he was very unkempt, he was walking around asking for money. I told him I wouldn’t give him money but I would buy him a bagel. I bought him the bagel and asked him to sit down and we talked for a while I found out that he had worked most of his life and due to some circumstances beyond his control he was left in a financially challenging situation. I gave him some pointers and I hope he acted upon my advice. I thought what If I would have looked at him as a beggar and a loser and not a human being who could be made whole with a bit of guidance and support. Ask yourself how many times you are judging people? Then do your best to remove this judgment from your being. In peeling back the onion and getting to know people you begin to remove judgment and as a result your personal and professional life is enhanced. In today’s world so many people miss out because they are so busy passing judgment that they never experience to joy or interaction.
I recently attended The 2nd Annual Author’s Event in Lauderdale Lakes and as I was speaking to the authors and vendors amazed as to how open and receptive they were to learn about me. I believe this was because I checked my EGO at the door and was there on a mission to be of service and value and provide them with a platform to maximize their message. In the beginning I was looking at the outer appearance of the people and I was missing out on what late became great interactions. It was when I took a deep breath and got myself centered and grounded that I was able to remove these pre conceived judgmental notions and interact with the people. As a result of removing judgment I was able to connect on a very spiritual level and thus my life was enhanced from the experience. In making a shift in my mindset at that moment I was able to draw people toward me just by being me.
As I was writing this entry sitting at Starbucks I noticed a group of kids sitting with their mentor so I went up and introduced myself. In the past I would have avoided this interaction and lost out on an opportunity. As a result of introducing myself I was able to make a key contact and also possible book a guest for my TV Show, The Anything Bucket, which airs on www.wrpbitv.com on Tuesday at 6:30 PM EDT. In putting judgment aside and just being me and being authentic I was able to move forward in a positive direction of my goals to provide a platform for people to be of service and value to each other.
Spiritual Awakening: Judge Thee Lest The Be Judged – Be Your Authentic Self !!!!
So many times we get caught up in the notion of what will others think that we do not move forward with our dreams. We tend to allow their judgment to hold us back. I say to heck what others think it is up to you to live your life on purpose and to be your authentic self. If GOD moves you to act GOD will guide you so act. If you find yourself judging others take a deep breath and see what you might be missing. It could simply be a matter of casting your thoughts of others aside and the thoughts of others about you away. I have stated many times before that some will, some will not, so what, some waiting, next. If you are in a public space and you can smile and show interest in others you just might make their day while improving yours.
I am a giver and a sharer and this was recently evidenced by my giving away WWE Tee shirts to 3 boys who looked like they could use acknowledgement of their existence. In giving and sharing you open up the channels to receive. In being authentic you open up the avenues to create a oneness consciousness that will propel you to greatness. As you continue on your spiritual awakening path remember to remove judgment and stay positive.
