"The high road is always respected and rewarded." Scott Hamilton
How many times have you found yourself wandering that low road? You're out there passing judgment on people you know - and don't know. You're running down colleagues and co-workers. You're even denigrating friends and family; belittling, maligning and smearing virtually everyone in sight, dishing out criticism like it's going out of style.
You don't want to be there, but you're there. You don't like what you're doing, but you're doing it nonetheless. And you're totally, completely, 100% miserable.
Let's face it, trashing and tearing others down is no way to build a life. Or make yourself happy. Or bring one sliver of value to anyone on earth. Be honest, how do you feel when you're being critical of others? Does it make you feel better? Does it make your life happier or more fulfilling? Does it make you look better in the eyes of those around you?
No it doesn't; not even close.
