Critique or criticism should always be filtered through your own reality check, not automatically rejected or deflected. Sit with it. Do an HONEST self reflection/assessment before being defensive. We are all a work in progress. Everyone is not “jealous” or being a “ hater”. There may actually be some truth to the criticism. Sometimes people’s intentions may not actually be to help you or your growth…it may not be coming from a positive place. It may be intentional to have a negative impact. But the trick is to use it to your advantage either way. If after you give it some real thought and you feel it’s bogus, then throw it away. If you find that there is, indeed room for improvement, work on improving it. No matter how it was intended, receive it and handle it accordingly, but don’t just immediately reject it out of being defensive or angry. With the right mindset, we can grow even from those things that are maliciously intended. But don’t always assume it is malicious. Sometimes it’s truth and an opportunity for personal growth, even if it’s uncomfortable.
