CRITICISM AS A JUSTIFICATION
In 1 Corinthians 4:3 Paul reveals his stoic view on the opinions of others, while also sharing some of his recipe for personal progress: “But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.” It’s clear to me that Paul had little time nor space in his own head for the opinions of others, neither did he entrench himself with self judgment. It’s often we become soaked in the decoy of criticism and over-evaluation of others and one’s self. Both are most often ego driven. Certainly the assertion of right to cast a critical evaluation of another, is a clear mark of someone expending effort in avoidance and procrastination of their own personal growth. IN THIS WEEK’S EPISODE, I’ll share with you some quick thoughts on REACTIVE VALIDATION and how we as humans beings continue to let our fears manifest themselves in outburst after outburst in an effort to be validated by own scarcely founded reactivity It’s your time! Own it. Learn from it. Live it. And, as Paul taught us, give space for it. Life is meant to be lived in. Smile with the reassurance that our best is all that is expected. I hope you'll join me for this episode.
