Judgments are at the root of suffering. The judgments I’m referring to are the kind used on ourselves and others to create hierarchy and power differentials.
You know, ones like:
I’m not good enough.
I’m better than you.
I’ll never measure up.
You don’t belong here.
Judgments create separation and disconnection. Since humans are neurobiologically wired to connect (that means we need it really bad), disconnecting from others is painful.
So…how do we release negative judgments? Great question, right? Releasing judgements requires a surrender. We need to take a risk to look outside our current reality and entertain or try on a new way of thinking. Humans don’t like this either.
Discernment is making a responsible choice about what is best going to put you in alignment with your purpose.
The choice is yours for now.
