"Feedback is my opportunity for growth." - Patrice C. Washington

So, this is what it is...my response to the feedback I got from asking for your opinion in the previous post(2 posts ago). Honestly, it felt good finding out what people thought of what I am doing with the blog and the directions they thought I(and the blog) should go. That was mostly because they were repeating some of my own thoughts, and some gave me a fresh perspective on my thoughts.

I am a firm believer in doing what's best for you. But at some point, it's best to take a step back and see what is in front of you through the eyes of other people. This is what constructive criticism can do but a lot of people run from it. As someone who has made lots of mistakes in life, I'm grateful for every one of them because they taught me things and helped shape me into the woman I am today, but the 'constructive criticisms' of others has helped me stay on course so it wasn't all bad.

Being human, I wish I had listened to some awesome people I have around me now. I wish I had met them earlier, I would have learnt a lot and avoided a lot of 'wrong turns'. And because of that, I am more open to criticisms. Listening and learning from people who mean well, and ignoring the ones that won't help me grow or that come from a place of hate and jealousy. As nice as it is to listen to the opinion of others, it's also wise to know where those opinions are coming from: genuine love or pure hate/jealousy.

I subscribe to the school of thought that you can only grow to the extent that you remain 'coachable'. It is the easiest way to progress. If you live with the belief that no one can tell you what to do or criticize anything you do, you will struggle with somethings that you could have had an easier time with if you had listened to someone. There are always people out there who are ready to help if you are ready to ask and learn.

So from now, I will be putting more of myself into my posts, and writing more lifestyle and inspirational posts. I feel like I'm starting all over again, taking baby steps, and I'm excited to see how this goes and where this path leads. Here's to listening, learning, making changes, and living life as intentionally and freely as I want to. Thanks to every one of you.
Have a great weekend.
With love...💋
