Authenticity is the Goal

When you’re finding fault with something or someone, you’re aligning yourself energetically with whatever it is you’re thinking. The degree to which you are projecting negativity onto someone or something is the degree to which you’re cultivating a toxic cellular garden inside yourself. Your subconscious mind doesn’t differentiate between yourself and others, so it interprets what you’re thinking or saying to be about you. Since your subconscious mind is basically the mind that determines self-esteem, being judgmental undermines your own wellbeing.

There is a healthy way to make choices in life.  Of course everyone has preferences and discernment is appropriate and necessary. But judging is another story. There is nothing toxic about discernment and making decisions based on your preferences. It is the unnecessary involvement in things, which are none of your business, and about which you can do nothing about, that causes the problems. If you’re completely honest with yourself, when you judge others it is usually because you’re not feeling very good about yourself. Unflattering opinions of others temporarily makes your ego feel superior. The kick, however, is fleeting and strengthening your ego is not your goal. Authenticity comes from being honest with yourself. Judging others is a fruitless and harmful endeavor no matter how good it feels to your ego. Pursuing complete authenticity is a worthwhile objective.
