Practice Love The truth of the matter is, by judging and criticizing others we are only breaking down ourselves. If we see something we want to criticize in someone else, stop, and practice love. Love in this situation would see the opportunity to grow and be thankful for the lesson. See the error, and asked why that really bothers you so much. Is it something that you do sometimes that you really dislike about yourself? Can I see whats going on and grow from it personally? If they made such an error and you see the negative consequences of it, can't you still learn from it and become better prepared.

Its kind like seeing someone who has a destructive drug addiction. We could rant and rave about how bad that person is for doing what they do and all the people they are hurting, that would be a response based in fear.

The truth of the matter is, you probably have your own addictions that you know are holding you back from experiencing more happiness and aren't doing anything about it. It could be something as small as a poor diet, an addiction of putting things in your body that you know aren't good for you. We could look at this drug addict as a perfect expression of love as it finds its own path towards healing, and offer encouragement, acceptance, kindness, and forgiveness.

The Feeling of Weakness If we choose to respond in fear, hate, judgment, or any other negative expression we will feel the weakness that comes with it and suffer our own consequence of not moving towards what we truly desire. This weakness will hinder your own creation process in creating the life you really want. Any error that you see in another person is perfectly organized as an opportunity for you to grow personally.

In contrast; this feeling of negative energy may not be as pronounced as I'm making it out to be. This is because of conditioning over time to believe this weak sensation as being normal. If that is the case for you, then remember times when you expressed love unconditionally or in part. What did that feel like, did you almost feel like a completely different person? Did you have a sense of bliss? Like nothing else mattered at that moment? Maybe you felt total acceptance of who you are.

Really try and remember these moments and what it felt like. This feeling of love, is how I desire to live out my experience while I'm hear on earth. Though I'm not able to do it 24/7, I cherish the moments when its present and accept that ultimately it is me that decides when those moments arise.

Conclusion Personal Growth, to me, is about experiencing more and more of those moments everyday; with our family, with our friends, with ourselves, and with people we come in contact with everyday; even with you as I write, even thought I may never meet you I desire to express love to you, and it gives me this feeling of bliss.

Be kind to a stranger, express more love, and accept everyone as they are. We all have our own path, we all learn in different ways; be thankful for the diversity that comes with love.
