OK, so this is a hard one. Has someone ever told you something you really didn't want to hear? Maybe in the moment you got really angry. That's easy to do when we hear things we don't want to acknowledge about ourselves. Usually the reason we get mad is because there is a part of us that has already considered what we are hearing and we are hoping it isn't true or it's because we are genuinely surprised by the observation.
People who really care about us are put in an awkward position when they can see something by observing us that we can't. Do they tell us and risk us getting mad at them or do they keep their thoughts to themselves and watch us have trouble they know they can help us avoid?
If you hear something about yourself from some one you really trust and it makes you angry, ask yourself why that is happening. Is it because what you heard isn't true or is it because it is true and you don't want it to be. Trust your gut to know the difference. Instead of being mad at the source of a truth, let's work on coming from a place of gratitude. If you think about it, the person sharing the truth is taking a big risk out of concern for your well being.
