BDTL writes>>>my favourite prayer for humility....
This is your belief, I don't disrespect it, my belief is that all belief is valid, as long as it's not injurious to others. However, the 2 words on your prayer list that I see differently in the context of humility, are love and criticism.
One of the major problems and not just for those that are addicted, is the inability to receive love which begins in childhood, due to being raised by parents that didn't know how to receive love and this is passed on to the child. One cannot possibly know how to love, if they didn't learn how to receive love.
Receiving love is the greatest gift in the universe, for if I can receive love, I’m automatically giving love. There is no thought with receiving love from my grandchildren, it just flows.
Agape is a Greco-Christian term referring to love, "the highest form of love, charity" and "the love of God for man and of man for God".
There’s a distinct difference between constructive criticism and non- constructive criticism which is marginalization. Marginalization is what the Pharisees practiced for power, control and fame.
Constructive criticism is a good thing, it’s a valuable tool in the workplace that allows individuals to learn and grow. Quite often people don't realize what a great resource it can be. The truth is, feedback and criticism has helped me succeed in the workplace and in life. I couldn’t have taken steps 4 through 9 without constructive criticism from others.
Constructive Criticism helps me with a new perspective and opens my eyes to things I may have overlooked or never considered. Whether it's a peer review of my work or a performance review, constructive criticism and feedback can help me grow by shedding light and giving me the opportunity for improvement. It's important that I don't take criticism personally, it's meant to help me learn and grow and is not an attack on my skills or character.
