I take it to mean to focus on yourself and not be so critical of others. Whether it&#8217;s your neighbor, your friend, Tiger Woods, John Edwards, Britney Spears, or whomever&#8230;who are you to say? If we could all practice being a little less critical and a little more understanding I think it might be a far better world.<\/p>\n<p>Raise your hand if you have not done something stupid or made a mistake. Exactly. I believe that if we spent more time knowing ourselves and liking ourselves we would be less critical of others. Trust me, I know I ound corny, but the next time you want to start ripping someone apart, take a moment and do somehting positive instead. We don&#8217;t know their situation or circumstances so don&#8217;t verbally beat them into oblivion. Love, like and kindness are far more fun than negativity, harsh words, and hatred anyways.<\/p>\n<p>The best thing about being positive is that you will, whether you know it or not, help others&#8230;which is the most amazing gift there is. So, stay positive in the face of ugliness and I promise you; good will come to you and those around you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The title is a line my wife has said a bunch of times and I have to agree, it&#8217;s a great &#8220;life&#8221; lesson.
