CRITICISM HAPPENS

Have any kind of opinion and express any type of strong notion and you will surely receive some criticism. Like that true saying, "Criticism Happens.

The questions I challenge you to answer this week are what are you going to do about criticism and how do you handle it?

We can not avoid it so we might as well handle it.

One major lesson we learn from the life and teachings of Jesus Christ is that we must have a goal and dream big enough that captivates us so strongly that it keeps us moving ahead even in the face of criticism. In Luke’s Gospel we learn how “Jesus set his face to go to Jerusalem,” and nothing go in his way from completing the role that the creator had for him to play. Yes he was criticized and ridiculed a bunch, but he made it all the way to his intended dream, to give his life so to show the world best how to live.

HOW TO HANDLE CRITICISM

1. Hold on to a big God-given dream, one that captivates and motivates you for a long, long time.
2. Know that when you lead and step out in faith you will be criticized and ridiculed.
3. Learn from criticism, sometimes it is constructive.
4. Believe that you are loved and lovable no matter what others think and say about you.

Your Thoughts are very powerful things. Thinking clearly can help you deal with criticism.



God bless you this week.
