Understand others to help yourself

I see a lot of conversation on the internet (myself included) about how important it is to release the need for others to agree with, approve of, like, or accept how we express ourselves. This is one of the most essential practices for your contribution.

However, to make it whole, we also need to practice what we hope to receive. That is, we each need to practice releasing judgment on the ways that others express themselves. If we only do half the work, it doesn’t work.

Self-expression, acceptance, and curiosity are only powerful when we all get to receive them. How might you help yourself and everyone by being less judgmental, more open-minded, and more understanding of others?
