Judge Not

Sometimes in life there are things that are demanded from you as a person. It may take many forms such as family issues, relationship issues, kids can be the demanding factor, the lack of money, time, focus, patience,...I mean anything can become a demand and it doesn't matter if someone else sees it's importance. The main thing is that the person who is dealing with the demand(s) thinks and feels that it is important. When on the outside looking in, it is usually easy to have a solution. But, when the problem is our own, the solution doesn't seem so obvious and even though we may have advised someone on the same issue doesn't mean we can actually apply that same advice to our own life. So, when looking at someone else's problem, it may do us well to be patient, kind, and understanding. Having the compassion for the person no matter how small we may think their issue is. Validate the importance of their problem and then try to be helpful with a suitable solution that can work for that person. The main thing, I think, is showing the person you care and understand, and letting them know their issues are important. Giving in this manner will surely make the spirit soar!
