"Judge not less ye be judged" I have judged others and myself throughout my days. These days I am less inclined to pass judgement on others (still working on it) but I am still a bit critical of myself; my self-acceptance is a work in progress. Last night I read an excerpt from 'The Book of Hope' by Jane Goodall and Douglas Abrams. I am in awe of her work and all that she has done to promote World Healing and a life well lived. In comparison, my life has come up short. I know there have been accomplishments, but was it enough? Will I face judgement when I leave Planet Earth and move onto that Next Place for not doing more? Guess I will know when I get there. I am hoping for a 'sliding-grade scale.' Until then there are still things I can do to make a difference, for me, for the World.

I tend to agree with Jack Kornfield:
ReplyDeleteIn the end, just three things matter:
How well we have lived
How well we have loved
How well we have learned to let go.
Comparing myself to someone else. check.
ReplyDeleteWishing I was as good as someone else. check.
Get over it. check.
