Today was an interesting day. I can sum it up in a few words. Pressure. Pressure for the things I thought I had control of and pressure to continue moving forward and get better. Today's pressure was presented in the form of "constructive critisim" . These words were laced with a desire to help conquer the presenting challenges. They were there to open my line of veiw wider. While they were difficult to hear, they were neccesary to shake out of the blinded state I was currently in. Growth doesnt always take a painless form, but it strenthens us and makes us better. Life was never handed to us with a promise of being easy. It can be frustrating and stressful. Especially if you lean towards having a tendancey to need to control everything. This pain free process can be drawn out and become more raw. (This unfortunatley is my personality.)
So here is my question of the day....Which personality are you? Do you kick and scream? Do you run from growth or do you run towards a better you. Open honest confrontation with yourself is the truest form of finding who "you" really are...and how you will tackle the things that life hands you.
Good stuff. Welcome to the blog world. I am a mixture of both. In some areas I seek constructive criticism but in other areas I run from it.
ReplyDeletesooo....in theory, i run towards a better me 110%. in reality, i wish i was already there, so criticism doesn't make me feel awesome.
