Think of feedback you receive from friends, family and colleagues as instructions from life. Rather than putting up your armor in response to perspectives that don’t match your view of yourself, consider it helpful information from a kind universe. When you don’t take it personally, you’re not defensive you can calmly evaluate the relevance and accuracy of it. Think of it as coaching advice from an accomplished professional in the field of your choice. If you anticipate that it’ll improve your performance in the game of life, make use of it…

And be grateful.
