“Give so much time to the improvement of
yourself that you don’t have time to criticise
others.”
Jim Rohn
A wise woman once told me “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.”
There is always something nice to say about someone and if you can’t find it, maybe you are looking in the wrong places? An infectious laugh, happy eyes, beautiful teeth, sexy voice, fabulous hair….. if you can find something pleasant to say to somebody which is genuine, no-matter how seemingly shallow, it is a whole lot better than saying something unpleasant to or about someone regardless of depth.
Each time we criticise or judge another person we are pointing back at ourselves. We are showing ourselves how harsh and unforgiving we can be and that will not only extend to other people, it will start when we look into the mirror.
If you are thinking of criticising somebody, stop and take a pause, think what is good about them and move on. Notice how immediately you feel different about yourself without the critical dialogue running in your head. Now pat yourself on the back, you have just invested a little time and focus on your own personal development!
