I think I’m improving on this goal. I think I’m being more open minded when I meet new people. It’s great!
I think it is coming quite naturally now. Sometimes I do find myself making a judgement and I find myself realising and thinking again.
I don’t think I’m quite ready to take off this goal as I do still make some shocking judgements every now and then, and although I am aware of them and try to backtrack they still happen.
I am not sure how realistic it is to not think these things in the first place, and I can’t actually think of any concrete examples of the ‘shocking’ assumptions I’ve had but I just have this feeling that I need to keep this goal rolling over a little longer before I am ready to take it down.

Its not like I’m massively judgemental or anything, just sometimes I feel like I’m being a bit harsh about people and shoehorning them into steriotypical moulds. I think I’m quite good at judging character but I think that makes it worse. It makes me less likely to see things about people I didn’t expect to see. Sometimes I write people off as being shallow, bitter or having had a comfortable life. I just hope now that I have this goal I’m going to see how different people are from how I expected them to be. Its not going to be an easy goal because if you’re not drawn to someone it can be difficult to give them a chance. I’m probably not going to become their closest friend, or maybe not a friend at all but perhaps I’ll meet some really cool people.
