When we get feedback, suggestions for improvement, what’s going on in our mind?
We could feel ashamed (lacking), angry (defensive), or excited – what a great opportunity to grow!
When we talk to smart, successful, and confident people, what’s going on in our mind?
We could feel hesitated to speak up or excited – what a great opportunity to hear and exchange thoughts!
It takes healthy self-confidence and genuine curiosity to learn from everybody and everything. Whatever our natural tenancy or upbringing is, I believe we can be intentional, reframing our mind to move toward who we want to be.
