The human heart craves acceptance and approval. Rejection can be productive or destructive. It depends on the person receiving it.
Analyze the source, the purpose and the solution offered. Don’t give time to a critic you wouldn’t give to a friend. However, being teachable is a sign of a true champion.
“Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.”
(Proverbs 13:18)
