I have been doing alot of soul searching lately. There are things (character traits) that I am not always proud of. One of them that I have been struggling with is "making quick judgements". Sometimes I see someone doing something that I feel is wrong or don't understand and I immediately jump to conclusions. Then I embarass myself when I find out that they did have a valid reason for doing or saying what they did. Example: I play soccer several nights a week. Normally when we kick the ball out of bounds we will run after it. There is this one guy that always walks. I just thought he was lazy! I made a rude comment about it one time and someone told me that he has some health issues but really wants to play so to go easy on him. I felt ashamed that I thought so negative towards him for so long. Rebecca, "Where's the compassion in that!"
It's just one example and believe me I could go on for quite a while with others. What I have come to realize that everyone has a story. I shouldn't be so quick to judge or jump to conclusions. I challenge you to look at at least one thing about yourself you don't like and work at changing it.
