Chapter 3 The Walks of Criticism (Part 1) A good friend to me is someone who is bold enough to confront you. Today we have people that claim to be your friend but are afraid to tell you that you’re wrong at the risk of losing your friendship. A friend can confront you in a loving way letting you know they love you but, you need to work on this and that or you’ve got an attitude problem, or an anger problem that’s keeping you from obtaining your best. A good friend will tell you when you’re trying to be something you’re not. My point is good friends can say tough things to you because they care enough about you and all of your crazy to critique you. Friends will let you know when you get on their nerves. Honestly, people that really love you will invest in you at the risk of falling out with you all because they want you to be better, so they tell you the truth NO MATTER WHAT! Now we all have those “friends” that say what you want to hear. I’ve seen it happen several times where many great business, companies, churches, families fail because for years and from the genesis they stand on lies, sugar-coated truths ,because no one has the nerve to say those tough things that need to be said to the person that it needs to be said to. Criticism is an important thing, I believe that criticism that goes up especially in business or groups of people that work together, is better than criticism that goes down because that is a complaint. All criticism isn’t bad and just because you don’t agree with something doesn’t deem you as a trader. From a different perspective, people that speak well of you all the time you cannot trust that they like you but that’s an article for a different Sunday. Most times you cannot evaluate a person based on the message they bring or the nice things they say about you or the works you’ve done. Many of us don’t allow criticism or can’t handle criticism because we’re scared to confront some truths we just don’t want to believe about ourselves. You have to allow people in your life that will challenge what you believe to be the greatest thing ever and tell you it wasn’t as great as it could have been only to produce the maximum of greatness within yourself. Just because one brings something negative or something that is hard to hear doesn’t mean they don’t love you it could mean that they are making an investment into your future or your destiny and care enough to risk your disdain by confronting you with truths you may not be receptive of but need to hear. -Author Build authorbuild kingdombuilt iamkingdombuilt
