How did you respond the last time someone gave you negative feedback about your work?
With anger?
Or in a defensive way perhaps?
Of course none of us like receiving criticism, but sometimes we need it in order to grow and improve
So how can we learn to receive it well?
For me it comes from knowing who I am apart from my work
As a Christian I’m a child of God loved by Him
And so my value and worth doesn’t come from what I achieve or accomplish, my work
But rather a secure identity I have in Him
So when people criticise my work I don’t need to take it personally
Rather I can listen and grow in light of the suggestions made
