Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 746 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
At times during circumstances we can be quick to judge. We look at people or their actions, and immediately, unobjectively say things and judge these people in ways that is very narrow minded.
You need to be extremely humble in relation to every person. That is to consider yourself less worthy than anyone else. This is an important concept in order to lead a good life.
Objectively speaking you might say, “How can you consider yourself less meritorious than those who at least appear to be less worthy of your own respect?” You have to bear in mind a very important concept, not to judge anyone until you actually have reached their place. You see, we all have challenges. The fact that sometimes we don’t succumb to these challenges or particular temptation where another person might doesn’t make us superior to them at all.
Who can measure the effect of someone else’s upbringing, environment, inborn character and weaknesses against temptations that one faces? We don’t know this.
We don’t know and we can’t see this. It’s often an impossible task for us to understand what some people have gone through. You may have been given the opportunity to see the challenges that you’ve been able overcome.
But you know what? That doesn’t make you special and it doesn’t make you better. It doesn’t make you greater, it just makes you lucky. It makes you a lucky person if you are not having these temptations. But, if you look deep inside you have other temptations.
You also have other weaknesses, ones that you have to look for and say, “What about those? What about me?”
Be extremely humble in relation to every person, and judge everyone favourably. Judging is passing a critique. Inspecting someone and saying that you are the one that makes the decision on who they should be and what they should do is not proper.
Not until you’ve stood in their place.
Not until you’ve had the opportunity to understand what they are going through. Even then, is it really your right to do so? I suggest you not do that, ever.
