Just Like Me

I heard the phrase this week, “Just Like Me” in reference to not judging others. When we’re having a conflict with someone, try to remember these things:

• The other person wants to be happy, just like me.
• The other person loves and wants to spend time with their family, just like me.
• The other person experiences pain and suffering, just like me.
• The other person sometimes speaks before thinking, just like me.
• The other persons sometimes procrastinates, just like me.
• The other person sometimes does stupid things, just like me.

I know all too well, this is much easier said than done. I often end up writing what I need to learn, so I wrote this post for Psychology Today called, Love Yourself More by Judging Others Less.
