We are all striving to be something. We have this idea of what that is and often we imagine we are already there even when we aren't. I've often heard that we need accountability partners. People to ground us in reality. People willing to be there as we work on overcoming, achieving, excelling. If they are true accountability partners then we must be prepared for the tough love... Yes, feedback. The hardest thing sometimes is hearing feedback and being openly honest with ourselves about what it means. It's not easy, as we are masters at manipulating ourselves. We can mask things to make them less impactful. We can take anything and spin it to our liking. We hear things not as they are said, but how we want them to be heard. Let's face it, we like the good things. We all crave recognition. We all want to be appreciated in one way or another. We want the positive. As hard as it is to see, sometimes accepting that constructive and honest feedback that is sincere and well intended, is a gift. Not everyone has those people in their lives. The ones who care about us the most and are willing to show us how much. I tell those in my coaching circle that if I quit giving you feedback or talking then something is wrong. Maybe it is a trust, a confidence, a respect issue. We need to be better at embracing those that work hard to tell us our truths and guide us along the way. We all need that support. The people that stand along side us on this journey of development, self discovery, truth, and growth. We need it, and as we realize that we open ourselves up to a blessing that allows us to realize that those that care won't ever allow us to pretend we are something we aren't. In turn, we are able to embrace our role in helping others be exactly what they are striving to be.
Believe In The Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is that you cherish those people in your life that love you enough to tell you the things only true friends will. Those are gifts and blessings from God not everyone is blessed to have.
Have a blessed and healthy day everyone.
