Got this from someone’s page and I’ve seen it before, in an email, but didn’t get a chance to really read it until now. Thought I’d share as it held a lot of wisdom, at least for me anyways.

We, at times, need to resort to a measuring stick in order to determine if we are on the right track, if we are resorting to some entity of life that has helped to sidetrack us, or if it is permitted to continue it is hold upon us, it could do so. Perhaps this list will help us to see what objectives we are encountering, using only one word to help us to understand the end result, either positive or negative. Some of the results we should avoid, whereas some things are to be sought.

Understanding this list can and will change our lives!

I got this while searching for ideas for backgrounds. Oh my God….totally not my own personal words but DANG! EXACTLY what I feel. So, I thought I’d share it. I’m thinking of putting it on PFG. Enjoy!

People Who Judge

To the people who feel the need to judge others…

Why do you feel the need to judge? Is it because we’re confident?
Is it because we’re never down or ever ashamed?
Is it because we’re doing something with our lives that you can’t do?
I’m just trying to figure out why you think you’re better than us
You never even took the chance to get to know us, to see what kind of people we really are.
How can you say you don’t like us?
Do you even know our names?
Do you know what we’ve been through in our lives?
Do you know what we’ve accomplished?
No, you know nothing about us.
I finally figured out why you judge us.
It’s because you’re insecure.
You’re unhappy with your life so you try to bring others down
But we won’t let you get to us. You’re not worth it.
You can keep saying you don’t like us, you can keep trying to hurt us, but your words will just make us stronger.
We make you realize you wish you were us. To be confident and happy, to be able to do what we love to do.
You can’t do that, and I’m sorry to say this but, it must be horrible to be you.
So next time you feel the need to judge someone else, take a look in the mirror and judge yourself.
