It is so easy for us to take one look or listen to ones statement. And then, immediately judge a person or situation based on what we see or what someone has told us. I, myself have been soooo guilty of this in the past. Yet, time and time again, I have learned that basing judgement on what someone has told me is never really accurate. I have formed very close ties with people who were, in the past, individuals I was apprehensive of. Apprehensive, only because of my belief regarding someone else’s statements or looking at what was on the surface. In the same breath, some of the people I respect the most today, were some of the ones I most feared in the past. Think about it, how often do we base our judgement on our own personal experiences? It is said, that every person that crosses our path in life is meant to be— whatever the reason (good or bad). So what happens when we block someone, all because of what we’ve heard or how they look or seem? Or because of our initial perception of them, based on nothing but— OUR OWN PERCEPTIONS? It is really not a fair way to live. It is unfair for the other person and unkind on our part. Some of the best friendships and most successful business partnerships have been formed all because the individuals allowed each other to be in their lives, receiving one another with an open mind.
