How do you receive feedback?

Especially, if it wasn’t what you were expecting.

The kind that might bruise your ego.

And have you thinking, “what do they really know, anyhow?”.

Or “that’s just their opinion.”

Rather than taking it all as a negative, can you consider the feedback as a gift?

As the individual took the time to provide their thoughts which may have been really hard for them to deliver.

Maybe even harder to give than for you to receive.
