Absorbing Criticism

August 20, 2007 · 2 Comments

Today, my wife informed me I was complaining about something a little bit too much.  I caught myself just before I went on the defensive, since I know she wouldn’t say anything unless she considered it important.  Instead, I tried to just accept her criticism.

    You did well to just listen and not be defensive, that can be a difficult thing to do. Perhaps your wife will follow your example and listen to your concerns with an open heart as well.

    Accepting criticism is hard for me. Your post made me realize that I should stop and take a breath next time someone points this out to me. Thanks!
