Manifesting True Success: Day 19

As one of my monthly goals is to meditate every day I have signed up for a free meditation challenge with Oprah and Deepak. This 21-day challenge focuses on manifestations of success. Feel free to follow along, try it yourself and/or comment below.

Success Is Without Judgement

Q1) Judgment is a major block to success is often unconscious, therefore we need to take an honest look at judgment. How are you judgmental with others? How are you making their decisions and behavior wrong or somehow bad?

Don’t get me wrong, I know there have been plenty of times where I have been judgmental of others but I can only think of times where people were hurting me personally. It wasn’t because I was judging others because of my own fear but because of my own hurt. I guess I thought that hurting me was wrong or somehow bad, should I not? Should I be okay with people hurting me? Maybe it’s not what they do but about what I allow people to do to me. I need to think about this one more.

Q2) How are you judgmental with yourself? Write down the ways you may be subtly, or not so subtly, judging yourself harshly.

I think I judge myself very harshly. To the way I look, the things I like, my career choice, my parenting, my decisions. I am harder on myself than anyone else in my life.

Q3) To help free yourself and others from judgment, recognize that everyone is making the best decisions they know how to with the awareness they have at the time. Think about someone you know whose actions seem negative to you, and write down ways in which that person may believe what they are doing will bring them happiness.

I would say my husband is a prime example of this. He thought cheating would bring him happiness, so that is the decision he made. I think his actions were very negative and they hurt me a great deal. I guess he thought this was okay because no one explicitly told him that is was bad and what it does to others. He was acting with the awareness he had at the time to meet his own need. I shouldn’t judge him for it but what I should do is decide what is best for me now. It isn’t my place to judge what he does anymore. It’s my place to make myself the best of myself.

Q4) Use this space to reflect further on your experience today.

Another no reflection day. Sorry guys.
