Take the high road—less traffic. We are often too quick to judge others. Since we are all the sum total of every experience we have ever had, how can we truly judge someone else's life when we haven't walked the same path?
Through life experiences, we learn about ourselves and expand our understanding of others. When harsh on others, we tend to be even harder on ourselves. However, through our mistakes in relationships, we gain the wisdom to allow others the space to make their own mistakes. This tolerance and open-mindedness are virtues and stepping stones towards growth, understanding, and peace.
Just as we can never truly comprehend anyone's relationship from the outside, we cannot fully evaluate our relationship with ourselves from our internal chatter. So much is happening simultaneously that it can be nearly impossible to see clearly when our emotions are heightened. But with self-awareness, we gain the power to navigate these complexities with introspection. Often, our past triggers us. Yet, we are all responsible for our actions and reactions.
As we know ourselves, we learn what triggers us, what part of our past we are still clinging to, and where we resist change. This awareness allows us to step back, and add space between being emotionally charged and our reactions. Very little changes for the better from an irrational stance, meaning that making decisions based on past pain often leads to regret, whereas taking a step back and responding with a clear mind can lead to a healing outcome and positive change.
