Surrender
If one is affected by criticism, it is due to the fierce inner-battle of worthiness and the desire to be accepted by others.

Viewing criticism as a negative reflection of oneself assumes right & wrong exist permanently; yet the terms right and wrong, or correct/incorrect are assumptions at best; and are relative to a current state of time & space, based upon an accepted belief of the majority within that period. Therefore right & wrong, correct/incorrect, are neither true nor false, they are opinions relative to the present moment with an underlying misbelief that things are permanent. In other words, just because it was accepted as given (correct/incorrect) in the past, does not unequivocally mean it is therefore given as correct/incorrect in the present or future.


Impermanence is reality!
When one practices mindfulness - becoming open-minded and unattached toward criticism, the desire to be accepted is recognized as futile. One needs only to be aware that Self is the 'witness' (the true Self) of impermanence; and thus one shall seek no praise and fear no retribution. One shall be that which one is in this moment - period.

Growth
Growth comes from witnessing criticism and praise without attachment. 
How can the Self grow into the next stage of life? Through the practices of non-attachment

This post really resonated with me. Your work is all about emotional freedom and I feel so free when I practice surrendering. Thank you for this reminder
