Keep running.

In life, we have the good times and the bad times. We thank God for the good ones and for the bad ones. Embracing the good ones, learning from the bad ones.

Well, I personally think that I learn and more after I fall/failed. We often hear people saying : "When life throws you lemon, you make lemonade". It's not easy making "lemonade" when your you have a rotten lemon right?

That's why we all persevere. Each time we fall down. Don't just get up. Get back up faster after falling down.  Rejoice in our sufferings, don't dwell, complain or feel bad about it. What done is done. Suffering produce perseverance; perseverance builds our character ; and character gives us hope.

Consider it pure joy, whenever we face trials of many kinds, because we know that the testing of faith develops perseverance.

Try picturing, if our life have no problems. No commitments. No responsibility. Everything is going smoothly and perfectly the way we wanted it to be. Comfortably. How can we build our character?  How do we learn?  Would we become too comfortable and not want to change at all?

Keep running. Don't be afraid of falling.

Parallax error

Most of us judge a stranger, friend, or other individual by what we see physically or base on our on thoughts. Ever been carried away commenting others choices, differences, appearance, attitude, etc. with our friends/peers? Well, i do. Who doesn't?

Definition of Judge : evaluate, measure, form a critical opinion.

Judging isn't all wrong. We must remember that our ability to judge is limited and especially that we are sinful people who will ourselves, one day, come under judgment.

Ever heard of what goes around comes around? For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Everyone isn't perfect, we do judge once in a while without true intention. 

My point is, judge our self first before judging others. At least try to,  Humble our self, swallow our pride. Swap places, give a chance to understand his/her decision or perspective.
