Distinction: Discernment v. Judgment
During my morning mindset meditation I found myself pondering the difference between discernment and judgment. Here is what I uncovered.
Discernment | Judgment |
Discernment gives different weights to things | Judgment uses two: good & bad |
Discernment is continual, evolving | Judgment has a sense of finality to it |
Discernment is pliable, open to new information | Judgment is rigid, resistant to new perspectives |
Discernment is open | Judgment creates polarization |
Both are powerful tools when used correctly. Learn to discern more and judge less.
(unless you are a judge and then by all means judge away).
