Search for the grain of truth in other opinions
chandu varma
Almost everyone feels that their own opinions are good ones; otherwise they
wouldn’t be sharing them with you. One of the destructive things that many
of us do, however, is compare someone else’s opinion to our own. And, when
it doesn’t fall in line with our belief, we either dismiss it or find fault
with it. We feel smug, the other person feels diminished, and we learn
nothing.
Almost every opinion has some merit, especially if we are looking for merit,
rather than looking for errors. The next time someone offers you an opinion,
rather than judge or criticize it, see if you can find a grain of truth in
what the person is saying. If you think about it, when you judge someone
else or their opinion, it really doesn’t say anything about the other
person, but it says quite a bit about your need to be judgmental.
If you practice this simple idea, some wonderful things will begin to
happen: you’ll begin to understand those you interact with, other will be
drawn to your accepting and loving energy, your learning curve will be
enhanced, and perhaps most important, you’ll feel much better about
yourself.
