Current Lesson

Aside from maintaining good posture both literally and having a good stance in life, my current personal lesson or goal is to get thicker skin. I feel like I should be less sensitive to certain things such as criticism or small remarks made by others. I can be good at handling it sometimes, but other times it lingers in my mind. Really it all comes down to confidence. How will I take the criticism? Will I use it to motivate me to become a better person like the more successful people have? I sure hope so. I don't want to let it bring me down, but rather to use that "negative" and turn it into positives.

What defines success anyways? Perhaps I'll write about that in another post.

I'm a pretty empathetic person, hence why I think I'd be either really good or bad in social work. I'm not sensitive to every issue going around the world - nor am I aware of every issue. I do know that this world is troubled by the destructive nature of human beings. Just like how sometimes it's best not to get involved, I feel as if sometimes it's better not to know/ be aware of some things. The truth can be hard to handle.
