If we are willing to be honest with ourselves we can admit there are times when our criterion is a little off.  We find ourselves engaged in experiences or with people with whom we feel we do not belong because we misjudged our place in the situation.  Perhaps we saw ourselves as being something we are not.  Perhaps we were afraid to speak up and say what is true for us out of fear of offending someone else.  Perhaps we wanted so much to belong we figured we could withstand the discomfort of not being with the criterion of our heart.  What does it mean to allow our hearts to be the basis of criterion when it comes to living our lives?  Do we carry judgment that to do so would be unrealistic?  Do we think we will be all on our own?  If we make an effort to connect with the truth of who we are within ourselves how can we really be existing within a criterion that brings us anything but peace?  Maybe until it is uncomfortable enough going against the criterion of our hearts are we willing to do the opposite.
