“Here Come Da Judge”*

Too often, too many of us rely on external validation to determine our self- worth. We make ourselves the defendant in a trial and allow everyone else to be Judge. If your self-testimony is “I am kind, compassionate, ethical, and giving most of the time. My goal is to be all of those all of the time.” Then you know who you are and you don’t have to worry about being judged. Remember that your self-testimony is under self-oath and self-perjury leads to a life sentence of not being you.

“A man can’t ride your back unless it’s bent.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” – Pesach and Chana Burston

If you allow yourself to live by the jury’s verdict, you run the risk of always living by some jury’s verdict and never following through in executing your dreams and goals.

“When the doubters tell you it can’t be done, nonsense. If you can get to the root of who you are, and make something happen from it…..you are going to surprise yourself.” – Vidal Sassoon
