It is natural for us to judge. Our mind requires us to come to some conclusions about how we engage and it helps us to create our perception of who we are engaging with. How willing are you to put all your restraining beliefs behind you and accept the difference of the person you are judging. Are you open enough to allow a person to introduce themselves before you cast them in a category based on your experience?
Having an open mind means you are willing to consider other perspectives or at least try new experiences. An open mind can be the introduction to a whole new world. A person who does not know how far they can go because they limit themselves will not expect you to go any further than what they can conceive. Our limitations are not always intentional. Some are programmed, others are chosen and some are not even aware of their limits or can understand how a person can be limitless.
We are all subject to our beginnings. Within that beginning are conditions and those conditions help develop who we are, what we believe, and how we think. It has been made impossible for us to all be the exact same. You can have six siblings who grew up in the same household, and each one will have a different perception of what that experience was. We are all in the same household sharing a different experience and somewhere in all of who you are, in who we are, lies the gift. That gift is recognizing who you are and what you bring to the world. You are important, you are important and you are very important. People have a tendency to believe that importance and monetary value are the same and it is not. There are people with a lot less who are more willing to give you the shirt off their backs and give you some of what they have because no matter what their experience has been, they are not so out of touch with the human experience and are still able to give.
When you do not have an open mind and are not open to new experiences you are choosing to practice a form of ignorance. Imagine judging someone who has experienced life differently than you. A person who has gained and experienced life through their own personal lens and you judge them and call them ignorant because you do not understand. How would you feel to be judged by what you don’t know, instead of who you really are? Everyone will not wake up, and that is part of their purpose.
Life is pretty simple. We all want to be loved, accepted, and respected. For a moment forget about race, forget about time, forget about all the injustices of the world and just love someone today. Forgive someone today. Be sweet and kind because it's free. We are all experiencing this battle for our souls. This urgent buildup of something new, this breakthrough, this new way of existing, and believe me, it's here. Open your mind and visualize what you want to see in the world and be just that.
