Sometimes someone will explain to me something they want to do, or a direction they want to take in life. Though I get my urges to imply that they, for example, shouldn’t be thinking about buying another HDTV when they have a daughter starting college next year, I’ve learned to keep the judgments to myself. Often times people make the right decision in the end
I want to admit that I do have a tendency to be somewhat selfish and judgemental. Instead I would like to recognize myself as caring and accepting. I think the first hurdle that I’ll have to jump is my tendency to focus on just my life, and actually listen to people. I would also like to do more caring things. This may sound pathetic, but I would like to be able to give fourth unto the world, one act of kindness every week (even if it just means calling my mom from college, and making sure to ask HER about HER life.) Hopefully by being kinder, I’ll get a better idea of how fragile and easily pleased people are, which will make it easier for me to accept what I normally consider annoying about people.
