We Make Judgments Everyday

I was kicked in the butt when I met face to face with a person that i judged a few months back with no consideration or reservation. This person was a member of the Lego group on FB which i have recently joined. He added me as a friend on FB without having met me first. That was when annoyance built up. 

I looked at one picture, saw that he was this big guy with a pony tail in leather jacket with all his biker friends. I immediately told myself that this wasn't someone i would be able to connect with. And proceeded to delet him from my friends list. 

But when I met up with him for the first time to have a small Lego business transaction, we sat down, i bought him a drink, and we went on to chat for more than an hour. Sure we only talked about Lego, but it was his being, his energy, his passion and his cheerfulness that really attracted and inspired me. I can tell he has a big heart. And I'm so glad this person has found me, finally; and I'm happy to call him a friend.

Even on a journey that practises no judgement, i'm still a human being, i still make judgement everyday. But i hope with this experience I can do better next time. Be better.

Today my intention is to be a better and a more carefree person by not holding judgement or expectation for myself or for others. And by doing so, i will create joy inside my soul which will show in my body, and be created in my environment.
