Criticism, gosh how I loathe it at times. Side Note: I appreciate it but at times it can be a double edge sword. In saying that, I understand it's a growing process and sign of maturity when you are able to take the sting. The beautiful thing is that I have finally realized that it is not condemnation or a put down to have your coat tail pulled. Breathe and take it. Know that the act of criticism is a form of Love. I've come to terms with the evil act and embrace it (slowly). Worry should set in when you are not nagged and tested. Perfection is in the eye of the beholder and since I am not HIM I'll praise HIM for it. This is the year that I grow and mature with no cares or worries. Progression, motivation, and determination! As a friend recently told me "congratulations and welcome to BIG GIRL land" lol.
