HJ: Each of us is on our own path in life.  Everyone moves at their own pace and is learning lessons unique to them.  When we understand this and accept this, we can move from expectation, judgement and want to a place of love compassion and acceptance.

When we project our desires, insecurities, fears, preferences and wants onto other people, we see them as less perfect than they actually are.  We forget to love them unconditionally no matter where they are at.

The truth is that what we perceive in others is in many ways a reflection of ourselves.  Our need to control.  Our need to be right.  And even more deeply, our wants, needs, fears, dreams, desires and aspirations.  We have a tendency to project our positive and negative aspects onto others, not realizing that what we see in them is ourselves.

The article below is one that will make you think not just about other people, but more importantly, about yourself and how your relationship to them reflects many things about you.  In the process of opening up and deciding to look at yourself and the world differently, you’ll not...

The only hero you can depend on is yourself! If you cannot depend on yourself for your own growth, there is no point in growing. Constantly searching for an outside source does nothing but enslave you to an unreachable ideal. ~ Creator

You are more than the person who sits in your house. You are more than the person who lives in your town or city. You are more than the person who lives in a state or province. You are more than the person who lives in a country. You are more than the person who lives in a continent. You are more than the person who lives on land or sails the seas. You are more even than a citizen of the world.
 
You are a Child of God, and you are also a citizen of Heaven with all the rights and privileges. You are limited to nothing, beloveds, to nothing at all. This means you are unlimited. You are beyond borders or boundaries. You are unbounded. This is the Truth. You are Great. You are Greatness personified.
 

HJ: Most people are trapped between the fear of disapproval and the desire for approval, which causes us to act in ways that are not true to ourselves, and yet, the irony is that the only way to truly lose the fear of disapproval and the want/need for approval is to be ourselves without hesitation.  To love who we are and learn to express it authentically.  Our love must come from within otherwise it is not true love, but conditional love, given to us by someone else.

Almost everyone on the planet judges themselves to varying degrees and there are many reasons for this, but the important thing to remember is that the more you accept yourself just as you are, ‘imperfections’ and all, the happier you will become.  The healthier you will become.  The better your life will get.

So why wait?  Use the sage advice given in the article below to liberate yourself from self-judgement and transform it into self-love.

How to Let Go of Judging Yourself

The sanctification of Self is not defined, outlined or because of another. Viewing yourself as holy and an integral part of The Universe is your birthright, your purpose and part of the reason you chose this existence at this time on this Earth-plane. ~ Creator

Just as there is no end to life, there is no end to you. There is only the present, and this means that you are in process. Something that happens on Earth may leave you feeling bereft, as if your life is at an end, all over, the meaning of your life all over, and yet you are not at the end of your life. Life does not stay the same, yet life doesn’t vanquish you.
 
Because something in life is against your will does not mean that you have failed. Because you go bankrupt, doesn’t mean you have failed. It means you have moved on. And if it is your heart that has gone bankrupt, you have not failed. You have just turned down a different road.
 
Sense of failure is a hardship that you add to your life on Earth. You cannot fail. That something important to you in your life goes kaput, does not mean you have failed. Beloveds, you are never kicked out of the Kingdom of Heaven. It may seem so to you because the world doesn’t hand you what you want, or it takes away what it has given. You are an illusionist. You make something of life that isn’t there. You read more into it than there is. It is only life.
