DO NOT JUDGE TOO QUICKLY; ONE OF YOUR MISCONCEPTION CAN RUIN A LIFE!
Our biggest fault is that we give judgment without checking anything. When we realize later, there may be nothing left to do. Judging others is something incredibly habitual. Oftentimes, we do not allow ourselves to picture the other person’s situation and put ourselves in their shoes. We think our viewpoint is the only valid one and this stops us from seeing beyond it and understanding other, different perspectives.  Think about yourself. How many people are there who do not know all the struggles that you have gone through that have affected your actions and behavior?  Your actions define you. When you judge someone, you are defining yourself. You can give your opinion, but criticizing or not understanding that person is not going to help them.

What harm can cause judging a person?
➡ People can feel discrimination.
➡ People can feel isolated.
➡ Feel ashamed.
➡ Misunderstood.
➡ Criticized.
➡ Feeling demeaned.
➡ Disorienting.
➡ Holding them back from achieving radical success.
➡ Separate people from achieving the goal.
➡ Your judgment creates limitations for others.

"Never judge a man's actions until you know his motives." ~ Vikas Swarup
