Posting our thoughts, struggles and answers opens us up to love but also to the much dreaded criticism. I don’t like it any more than you do. First response? Defend! (or ego’s offspring anger) Second response? Embarrassment (ego’s guilt). Third response? Hide in a corner (fear). And FINALLY a fourth response, ask the Holy Spirit for a compassionate perspective on the critisisER and the critisisEE (me) and also what to change or do or NOT do. Today’s answer from H.S. is to see all with a gentle eye and to post these thoughts as a cathartic ‘doing’ that is hopefully helpful to you also, and not just to me.
