critics

Have you ever worked for someone that was actively and overly critical of your efforts and performance?  Were you able or willing to keep giving that boss your best?  How about a relationship where your partner points out every mistake you have?  Were you guarded in what you shared and restrained in your expression?  We can clearly see how these external "judges" can affect our performance.  Once you realized their ways I hope you were able to adapt and eventually distance yourself from that relationship.  However how many times are overly critical of ourselves?  What would your life be like if you loved yourself even while acknowledging your missteps?  What could you accomplish?  What incredible feats would you reach if you stepped back and let yourself be you?  Avoid the over critical in all walks of life.  It drains energy and you have much better things to do with you time and energy than to judge and be judged.
