We are placed in relationships with others who have what we do not, and as we learn to work together, we can accomplish great things and enjoy our lives.

Sadly, we often waste time being critical of people because they don’t do things the way we do, and we reject them instead of accepting them. This causes us to miss out on what they could add to our lives, and it robs them of what we could add to theirs.

One of the most important things we can learn is how valuable every person is.

They are as imperfect as we are, and good relationships take work and effort, but they are definitely worth it. Bob Goff reminds us that: "We're all rough drafts of the people we're still becoming."

The next time you feel yourself tempted to complain or be judgmental - pause - and instead, step into a place of curiosity and ask questions and listen without judgement. When we choose non-judgement, we come from a place of being humble. This attitude deepens connections. We learn so much by turning away from judgement and tuning into genuine curiosity.
