Power to Judge – Part 3…

Hi Everyone, thank you again for your stories of courage you’ve each shared – yes, Power to Judge can be challenging as we often have to face stuff about ourselves we may not like… For example, recognition of judging others or not using self judgement accurately and falling into the role of self-abuser. Recognition is the first step to making permanent change as living in denial will only get us so far in life. I’ve had many tests this fortnight regarding this power, but am still in awe of the truth behind it – truth that can’t help but propel us forward in life when we are willing to face it with love in our heart and honesty in our actions.

One of my biggest lessons in life still has to be one of guilt (irrational I know, but one I still need to work through). I’m grateful for being aware now that I have the power to change it. What I’ve identified is that in order to make others feel better about their inconsistencies, I still sabotage my own hard work in the process (not their fault). An area I’ve had to look at closely to prevent it from happening again… and again… and again… Power to Judge has been a wonderful tool to practice so that one day soon I will get it right :)… This means I must diligently check and change my attitude and change guilt into self respect, every single time. I must regularly re-evaluate my own worth as to not get caught up on the disempowering behaviors of others, or my own limitations. I am 100% responsible for what I say and what I do – others are 100% responsible for how they respond – and vice versa.

Here are your stories condensed and shared 🙂

— Many were challenged, some felt they fell down, others didn’t quite understand, yet others felt they made some head-way.
— Some dealt with anger and violence in home situations and remembered to use their ‘Power to Judge’ to assess their involvement, enabling them to step back… (Well Done, not an easy situation to apply it to 🙂
— Recognizing and stepping away from toxic atmospheres through using their Power… (Keep up the good work!!!)
— Remaining in own peace by not reacting… (Great work)
— Some were able to care for themselves through practicing this power – showing self love… (Excellent)
— Many recognized their own disempowerment by judging others and also realized the importance of using other powers alongside this one… (YESSSS, we have many powers at our disposal)
— Some are working through sudden (unexpected) changes, feeling sad lost – allowing emotion to take hold… (Keep going – 1 baby step in front of the other – you have much support 🙂
— Some used this Power to help them remain practical… (Awesome)
— Many working through health issues – ongoing issues and newly diagnosed ones – feeling overwhelmed… (Remember to keep it simple – Power of Simplicity can help here as Simplicity is always the key).
— Some struggling with lack of confidence but learning to give themselves some essential ‘time out’… (Fantastic!)
— Enabling themselves to let go of sad/angry thoughts by judging the quality of their thoughts…(Keep doing this it’s very powerful)
— Learning to accept that we can’t control how others behave but that we can control our response… (Well Done!)
— Struggling with forgiveness, leading to judging and blaming others and re-living past but recognized the self disempowerment and learning to accept others as they are… (Beautiful!)
— Using Power to Judge in group situations – where judgement took place in the past, now able to remain friendly without getting ‘pulled’ into the situation… (Great work)
— Using Power of Patience has helped some to not judge others, realizing that ‘it all comes out in the wash’ and relieved to not lose any more sleep over it… (Wonderful!)

Thanks again everyone – hope you gain some benefit and insight from this weeks Power, keep up the amazing work and ‘see’ you on Monday… I wonder which Power will be drawn?..

Much love to you all, Annemarie
