COT: Pax is well. Prayers for baby Penn, and his family going through the unimaginable, 5 surgeries thus far, less than 2 years old. Please pray, it works. Great to have Cappacinno back in midtown. man…We discussed the below and how important it is to take criticism as men (as Prideful Men), the right way and how you implement that into your life.. Listen for the Constructive Gold..
Gold Jewelry
To one who listens, valid criticism is like a gold earring or other gold jewelry. (NLT) ( Proverbs 25:12 )
Criticism can be tough to swallow. What if criticism were viewed as a prized possession that’s wrapped with great care, presented with honor, and accepted with gratitude? The verse above points out that valid criticism only becomes precious to anyone who listens. When you listen to criticism are you listening for negativity or constructive gold?
Christopher Lash said “Men would rather be envied for their material success then respected for their character”
What do you want to be remember for? If you can’t answer this by the time you are 50, you have wasted your life.
This question above pushes us to see ourselves as a different person, the person you can become. Once it dawns on us that we will not be remembered for how much money we made, or what we have accomplished or acquired, we have then found what truly matters in life. Don’t let other peoples opinions validate you!
What is Love? A little boy asked. The Old man smiled,
“It’s what happens when pride burns to ashes”!
