Description

Would we rather look good than be good, than do what is right? What if we prioritized being and doing good over looking good? And I’m not talking about makeup. It is simpler and more immediately rewarding to have people think we are good than to expend the effort and rise to the challenge of really pursuing virtue, regardless of people’s opinion of us.

Neutralizing Praise And Criticism: Key Takeaways: Praise and criticism are the same things. Those are just other people's opinions of you. A whole person doesn't need praise to make themselves feel good and doesn't let criticism derail them. The internal defines the external, not the other way around. Don’t wait for someone else to define who you are and what you are, stand in your value and embrace your own worth. People will connect with that or fall away, and those that leave are not your people. Criticism can expose what I call our shadow self, those dark parts of ourselves that we don't like and that we want to stay hidden. When we can understand what they are and accept those and love those parts of ourselves, then they become neutralized. So very little of what people do has anything to do with us. Understanding that will set you free. Don’t take things personally. Praise and criticism are neutral opinions of other people that are a reflection of themselves. “Our ability by The Influential Nonprofit
