Observe.

Judge.

Label.

And repeat.

This is an efficient process and allows your brain to take in a lot of information without getting bogged down. It allows you to move through life at a fast pace.

But what if you’re judging and labeling incorrectly?

What if you’re judging and labeling based on incorrect information?

When you judge something or someone, you have to compare it to something else, otherwise judging is impossible. More often than not, you’re judging against, good or bad, safe or harmful, friend or foe. And you’re judging against information you’ve been taught, experienced, or have been exposed to through some form of media.

Since your experience is limited, the majority of your judgments happen against information you’ve been taught or exposed to.

What if that information was already biased to begin with?

Now you too have the same biases.

So your yardstick that you’re judging against is not a clean slate.

Why is it important for you to realize this?

Because your biases and prejudices are inextricably tied to your belief system and your beliefs are what drives your day to day behavior.

There’s a high probability that you’ve either missed or are going to forgo opportunities that could be extremely beneficial for you because of your biases and prejudices.

But you don’t have to continue in this way.

You can instead change your pattern to:

Observe.

Be curious.

Label.

The act of being curious can be a game-changer for your entire life. Being curious instead of rushing to judge can open up a whole new world of opportunities and possibilities for you.

So see if you can go out today and modify your behavior pattern by being curious instead of being quick to judge. If you do, you’ll quickly realize that if you change your patterns, you’ll change your life.
