But do not put off today that which will bring hope and help to the mind of another . . . Those things that make for the putting off become a joy never fulfilled. Use, then, the experiences from day to day as the basis, and these will grow under thine very effort; surprising even to self as to the joy that comes from same, and gradually taking shape to become a joy to self and blessings to others.
Daily Application of Selected Cayce Readings

Judging in a Helpful Way
Hold to those things in which, in dealing with others, you may see only the pure, the good! For until you are able to see within the life and activities of those you have come to hate, something you would worship in your Creator, you haven't begun to think straight.
Based on Edgar Cayce reading 1776-1
Allen's psychic reading from Edgar Cayce forced him to look at himself and his attitude toward others. He was told that he had a tendency to condemn others and himself without cause. As Allen read the reading over and over, he began to feel that what was stated was accurate.
The reading spoke about two significant past lives. In one lifetime his behavior aroused the hatred of the community in which he lived. Thus he had become an outcast and still carried a condemning attitude toward himself and others from that experience. In another in Roman times, as a judge, he had sentenced others harshly and unmercifully.
The reading said Allen could transform this condemning nature if he chose to do so and turn it into a discerning ability to help others. He could use his gift to see other people's abilities and show them how they could use their gifts to fit into a larger picture, to harmonize their lives with others around them.
The choice belonged to Allen.
APPLICATION: Be alert for how you can evaluate other people's abilities positively so you can help them use their abilities in a cooperative and productive way.
