Giving up judgmental attitudes requires that we replace them with some other attitude.\u00c2\u00a0 Our minds will not remain idle.\u00c2\u00a0 The best attitude to cultivate and the one that changes everything and everyone — you and all of the people you formerly judged — is gratitude.\u00c2\u00a0 Having an attitude of gratitude is what allows us to see everyone in our path as necessary and an opportunity for us to express unconditional love.\u00c2\u00a0 You see, judgment and love cannot coexist, and we’re expressing one or the other almost all the time.\u00c2\u00a0 Seldom are we indifferent to our experiences, to the people we are sharing those experiences with, and to the set of expectations we have created around those experiences.\u00c2\u00a0 Becoming more loving, attempting to develop the attitude of unconditional love, in fact, is the real assignment we have been given in this life.\u00c2\u00a0 No one can do the work for us.\u00c2\u00a0 No one can prevent us from doing the work.\u00c2\u00a0 And everyone benefits every time any one of us makes even a tiny effort to grow in our willingness to love rather than judge.<\/p>\n
