When criticism stings, strip away ego and ask three things: Does it ring true? Is it actionable? Can I use it to improve? A personal example shows how painful feedback often contains useful truth if you're willing to hear it.
Good morning, everyone. Here is your moment of yes for today. Happy Friday. Hopefully, you've got something planned this weekend that's that'll be a good time. If not, you can just watch all of the moments of yes or not. So, your moment of yes for today is how well do you receive criticism or feedback? If you're like most of us, when you when you get that feedback and you take it too personally, it's it's hard to get the information or or to really question is what is being shared, is it legitimate? Is there truth behind it? I got some feedback by someone very close to me at the beginning of the week that hurt on a personal level, but when you remove again that ego, that personal sense, and really look at it and go, okay, how much of this is true? And can I really look at it? Is there— does this resonate with me? What can I do about it? So your moment of yes for today is any feedback, any criticism, any information coming your way, can you look at it from a detached standpoint of your ego and your personal sense and really ask yourself, all right, is there some truth to this that I can work on, that I can improve? And I know for myself it did hit some truth with me and I am listening and thinking and moving that forward. So your moment of yes for today is listen to that feedback and criticism even if it's kind of hurtful in the moment, but stay with it. Ask yourself how much of this is true and And move through to progress and improvement. That's your moment of yes for today, everyone. Have a wonderful day.
