When the truth hurts, it is tempting to ignore it or to deny it. Yet when the truth hurts is precisely the time when it's most important to pay attention to what that truth says. A real friend is someone who has the courage to speak truthfully to you, even though that truth may be painful to hear. For by knowing and acknowledging the reality of a situation, you can begin to successfully deal with it.
When the truth hurts, it can indeed be painful. Yet if you will listen carefully, you'll gain the wisdom to avoid even more pain and to move positively forward. When you encounter a truth that is painful to hear, that pain is doing you a favor. It is providing you with an opportunity to make a change for the better. Take that opportunity and run with it. Be thankful that a difficult and valuable truth has succeeded in getting your attention. In the difficult truths you will find much power. Though the truth may hurt for a moment, in the long run it can also set you free. -- Ralph Marston YESSS! YESSS! Ralph said it oh, so much better than I ever could! This is what I try to do with critisism! And didn't it come right on time, too, with my post from yesterday? WOW!!!

Yeah, it ain't easy accepting critizism or changing yourself when you realize it's true. But it's worse if you deny that you could ever possibly do anything wrong! I've been there!
