The impulse to judge someone is easier than the choice to help. It's also a form of cowardice that reveals more about your own fears than it does about their mistakes.This is a deconstruction of why we judge. It's not about shaming the behavior, but about understanding its mechanics: how judgment is a self-protection mechanism, how it reflects our deepest insecurities, and how it costs us opportunities for connection and growth.We explore the practical definition of courage in everyday life—choosing to help when it's uncomfortable—and the profound ripple effect that one act of compassion can have, not only on others, but on your own future. This is a guide to choosing a more courageous, and ultimately more rewarding, path.Chapters:00:00 - Intro00:21 - The Uncomfortable Truth About Judgment01:11 - Redefining Cowardice and Courage02:23 - The Narratives We Build to Justify Inaction03:00 - Why We Really Judge: A Tool for Self-Protection04:23 - Judgment as a Mirror to Our Own Fears05:13 - The Ripple Effect of Choosing Compassion06:44 - The Questions to Ask Before You JudgeTo read the original post or learn more than what you see here, please visithttps://www.fatimabey.com/the-choice-that-defines-you-why-we-judge-instead-of-help-and-what-it-costs-usRead the full transcript on Listen NotesFor more MindShifting content and resources: https://www.fatimabey.comSubscribe to The MindShifter Blog: https://www.fatimabey.com/blog1#1701160625Explore MindShift Coaching and other services: https://www.fatimabey.com/mindshift-coachingSupport The MindShifter Audio Blog: https://www.fatimabey.com/audio-blog-support Hosted on Acast.
