Others' Judgments Don't Matter

I found myself minding my own business one day at a funeral, unfortunately, when I ironically felt judgmental eyes on me from someone who lives in my old hometown. I acknowledged them with a wave and smile to be respectful, but they still continued to eye me up and down, even at such an event.

I wasn't feeling self-conscious or anything because I'm knowledgeable enough to know that the act of judging others comes from a place where fulfillment is nonexistent. I simply just felt empathetic for them for taking their time out to focus on me, especially considering that they're a full-grown adult and is considered to be financially wealthy.

I wouldn't consider myself wealthy in that aspect, but I would say that I'm rich in many other ways. I'm rich in a way that doesn't allow my energy to go towards judging others for what they have. I'm rich for the fact that I live a life of love and have people in my life that love and support me with anything that I choose to do. I also live according to what brings me happiness which, to me, is what being successful means.

Now, I'm aware that some people have had it differently, but there comes a point in our adult lives where we make the choice to be better people, while some choose to judge with any chance they get.

One probable reason that some people choose this negative lifestyle is that I believe that they don't realize the hate that they're spurring out to the world; this has been the way of their life for a while. They've chosen to dishonor their thoughts and feelings thus far, which is why their darkness seeps out of them when it's time to react and interact with others.

The best thing to do is to not take their judgments personally. Where they are at in their lives does not mean that you have to fall down to see them at their level. It's important to not let your head wither to your chest in hopes to soothe those who don't want to see you stand proud.

If you feel on top of the world, in this moment of your life, keep radiating.
