People
sure do remember when you do
something that's out of line,
out of character or just plain
dumb. They have a way of
letting you know how shocked,
surprised or disappointed they
are. There
are even those times when
someone will believe that you
committed the error or mindless
act just to strike out at tem.
They may
berate, scold or chastise you,
probably giving very little
consideration to how you feel.
You are probably beating up on
yourself and do not need the
help of others. But you
get it and that's how the shame,
guilt and anger set in.
No matter
what you do, you must never lose
sight of the fact that it is
your lesson. It does not
matter what anyone else thinks
or believes; you are the one
growing and learning.
You have
nothing to feel guilty, ashamed
or angry about, you must be
ready for the lesson, otherwise
you would not have the
experience.
Rather than focusing on
what "they" are saying, identify
what you have learned and
remember how awful it felt to be
criticized the next time you
start to criticize someone else.

No one has to tell me what
an important lesson I am learning. |
