Judging people

For those you work with or interact with regularly .. get a notebook and write down positive aspects of each of those people.
Write down the things you like most about them (don’t expect change from them).
Most of the times we complicate the relationships around us by pushing our own expectations onto the other person. And then when they fail to meet up to them, we get negative about them. Every small thing they do starts annoying us, we start to look for excuses to avoid them, to answer their calls and talk to them. We form an almost demonic entity of them in our mind and stick with it, no matter how others perceive this person. He or she could actually be a nice, friendly person...maybe just a little awkward around you because you two don't have much in common...or maybe they're shy or like you too much. And most often, they don't have a clue about the going ons of your mind. They don't know what hits them, when you unleash your behavior on them at full throttle.

All I want to say is don't judge anyone. They are exactly the way God intended them to be.
Having higher expectations of people is justified to an extent because our standards are high but maybe we've got to realize that they're already at their full potential.
Be it a co-worker, class-mate, your partner....being judgmental will only be detrimental to your personal growth and peace of mind.
Give them a chance, without any pre-conceived notions and see where it leads. What happens might actually surprise you. And if they're exactly what you thought of them, or it doesn't work out for some entirely different reason, well...at least you gave it a shot. Laws of attraction will not put you in the same space together if your frequencies don’t match....read it somewhere.....amen in that case;-)
