You’re the one putting your hand in the fire

Posted on by philipdodson

Stick to your guns.

Don’t be swayed by others.

It’s what you feel that matters.

After all, others may well advise on a course of action, but they haven’t got to do it.

If it feels wrong, if there’s a nagging doubt, if something comprises your values, it won’t go well

Step away and trust your own judgement.

It seems easier to fit in and do what’s expected or popular but longer term it’s always better to do what deep down you know to be right for you.

After all who’s hands going in the fire? Not their’s.

The judgement

Posted on by philipdodson

The judgement of others is more often a reflection of ourselves, of things that we are not willing to change or face.

It defines us not the person who we judge.

What if the energy that we expend on scrutinising others was channelled to assessing our own behaviour?

What if we focused only on the one thing we can control, ourselves?

Maybe then we could practice non-judgemental and unconditional love of our fellow citizens.

We need to live our own lives, citizens.
