Digging deeper

Do you ever judge others?

It is easy to look at 

somebody or a situation

and believe that we know

what is real.

What if we dug a little deeper?

What might we find?

It is in the investment of others where we

find our hearts, our voice.

We are never more fierce then when 

we are fighting for truth,

for love.

I am guilty...

I see people at the hospital where I work

and

it is easy to judge,

to be quick to think the worst sometimes...

I am wrong.

That is wrong. 

There have been times in my life where I have been judged.

People didn't know my story, 

It hurt!

If I think I have it figured out

then my heart is not open to hear the truth,

and then how can I really help

that person?

That saying, never judge until you walk in another 

persons shoes...

so true.

We only know what others

allow us to see.

There is so much people hide and

with good reason.

So many of us hide away, or at least that piece of us

 that

we don't want others to see,

it becomes a method of self preservation

or 

survival.

Today I am choosing to dig a little deeper,

to not judge

and 

to realize that behind every smile, every tear

every decision,

there is a story...

An amazing story to hear.
