That's why I wrote a series of posts on it. Once overcome, life becomes so much more powerful and meaningful. Hi, Jean Browman--Cheerful Monk, I like the attitude! Turning a negative into a positive -- no matter what -- is a healthy way to handle a lot of things. Hi, Ari –

Hi, Jean Browman–Cheerful Monk,
I like the attitude! Turning a negative into a positive — no matter what — is a healthy way to handle a lot of things.

When I'm able to do that criticism is a great way to see how the other person looks at things. When I'm not able to do that I earn a lot more about myself and what I need to work on. Either way I win. I try to keep my ego out of the way and stay curious and open to life. When I’m able to do that criticism is a great way to see how the other person looks at things.

We hate or dislike people (or their behaviors) that remind us of what we don't like about ourselves. At least that's what I notice with me. I am a person who constantly sees room for improvement in anything and everything, so I don't criticize out of spite or insecurity. I can criticize most things, as I can find good things to affirm in them at the same time. ari Oh, and about Kare Anderson’s point — I think it’s true, but not so much in criticisms but mostly in how we judge others.
