How to avoid criticism?
To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.
~ Elbert Hubbard
I think I’ll always be a target for criticism then….because I do things, I say things, and I am something.
In fact, some men find me too much to handle. So if I am to be the focus of criticism, what’s the best way to receive it?
Marie Forleo on MarieTV has four ways to handle criticism:
- We are all judged and criticized at this very moment. It’s normal and very human.
- The more you put yourself out there, the more people will criticize. People are allowed to have opinions.
- Who are you really going to listen to? Busy people are too into their own thing to criticize others.
- Most criticism is irrelevant. It’s others’ opinions and not necessarily the truth.
As Brene’ Brown tells us, be the man in the arena who is Daring Greatly.
