A Sure Way For People To Resent You, Be Petty

When you aren’t being petty you have more energy to focus on what is actually important in life

Judgement is one of the last most difficult vices of the mind to let go, it is the nature of the human mind, which can be very harmful if not kept in check, rather than helpful
When feeling superior or inferior to someone, which is the foundation of judgment, it is essential to remember that each of us is actually just at different stages, living different circumstances and see, understand the world differently

We are all interconnected and therefore judging ourselves harshly and/or others is both useless and unnecessary
People who have their stuff together are not habitually petty.
They have their values sorted and know where to direct their energy.
Not wasting it on outbursts that only make other people resent them

When referring to someone being petty it is a form of violent emotional abuse expressed in a hostile, controlling, opinionated, resentful, often quite harsh, hurtful and intentionally humiliating to the other person and often times, communicated in a passive-aggressive way

We all hear people saying 'be yourself' and yet at the same time trying to make that person fit into their perceived world

I particularly like the proverb; do as I say, don't do as I do
Often this behavior has everything to do with a person feeling that they are not getting enough credit, valued or insecure
but this bad behavior should never be tolerated or accepted

The irony is, no one likes to be judged and should be taking heed from their own actions with others. Is it going to be constructive or cause someone to be defensive and/or resentful towards me?

Loosen your grip on how things and people should or shouldn’t be.
Just enjoy people for their imperfect beings that they are

Take the time to see things the way the other person sees it, there are many grey shades besides your black and white

So many times the meanings we give to things are way off the mark.
We are brought up with ideas of what people's roles should be, and yet, we are not forgiving enough if people don't measure up to that fairy tale image we believed to be reality

We are the ones giving power to the small stuff that we create which consumes us of precious energy that we can't afford to waste
If you don’t recognize your flaws you can’t fix them

“I notice that when I’m generous, accepting, and loving toward myself, all that’s reflected out into the world. The more I cut myself slack, the more I don’t judge myself for being other than I am, the more I’m aware of who I am, see it, honor it and respect it, the more I do all those things for others.”
