What will I focus on?

You have witnessed something beautiful taking place, and it is praised and critiqued all at the same time. How can this be? How can we experience such varied responses on the very same subject?

What if the subject or thing is us? We can receive such varied responses to ourselves. What will we do? Will we ride the waves up and down, and our hearts feel tossed about like a ship on a rough sea? There comes a time when we have to draw a line in the sand, and decide enough is enough. We get to choose what we are going to listen to. No matter how consistent or loud the drone of negativity is, it can be ignored. We can choose to feed our hearts with the affirmation that comes our way.

And there is a time for constructive criticism, a ‘hero sandwich’. This is feedback from someone who cares about our wellbeing, and wants to help us thrive. We leave this conversation enabled to grow, instead of feeling downtrodden and rejected.

So what will you choose today?
