#21 The Gift of Criticism

Criticism is an incredible opportunity to grow. Here are some steps

on how to receive criticism and benefit from it. When someone says

you are " wrong, terrible, sloppy, " etc., say (either in your mind or

aloud to that person " ) " Thank you. " This thought immediately puts

you in a space where you're available to hear and to use the

information in a way that can serve you.

After the criticism, ask yourself, " Do I hurt? " If the answer

is " yes, " then know somewhere within you, you beleive the criticism

also. Knowing this gives you the opportunity to heal that portion

which you find unacceptable within yourself.

If you want to cease to be vulnerable to criticism, then heal the

criticisms. That is the ultimate power in letting go of every

concept. Being vulnerable means you can no longer be manipulated for

there is no place for the criticism to stick. This is freedom.

This is powerful... and there are no more of these to post, Mona?

Too bad, I liked reading this focus each day.
