Make Positive Judgments

by allinspiration.com

When you have to look at a situation or person and make a judgment or guess as to what is going on, always try to look at it from the best possible angle.

For example, when someone does you a favor or says something nice about you out of the blue,  and you have no idea why, you could think that person must have an ulterior motive, or you could just assume that the person means it from the bottom of his or her heart. Try choosing the latter.

A psychologist once remarked that we are better off trusting every single person we meet, and getting lied to or betrayed once in a while, as compared to being wary and distrusting towards everyone. Remember, people are innocent until proven guilty.

When we always choose to look at things, at life, at the world, at people, in a negative light, we become cold, hard, cynical and alienated. In the process, we become unhappy.

On the other hand, people who choose to look at everything in a positive way experience a very warm outlook of life, and the end result is happiness.

No matter what, there are always good things and bad things. Many times, though, it's just a matter of how we look at it.
