It’s a proverb we have heard growing up and one that I think I’ve often forgotten about “Don’t judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes”. It’s one I want to keep in the forefront of my mind. I’m often quick to judge people, situations and a myriad of things.

When I see the load and burdens that others carry and realize what certain decisions and actions cost them, I believe I must force myself to not be quick to judge. For if I had walked a mile in their shoes I most certainly wouldn’t have so quickly placed an unflattering and incorrect label.
