Criticism Flashcards
Receiving Criticism
A man’s capacity to receive direct criticism is a measure of his capacity to receive masculine energy. A man who has had a bad relationship to masculine energy (e.g his father) and is more feminine will act like a woman when receiving criticism, being hurt or defensive rather than appreciate and use the criticism. A good way to improve as a man would be to sit with your closest friends once a week to discuss how each other is currently doing. Your role is to take in criticism and use it, and also criticize your friends, challenging each other to take on the fear currently holding you back. You essentially make sure everyone is leaning a bit over their edge and kissing their fears, and it’s important to be critical but also respectful and know where the limitations are. This requires brutal honesty both ways, and not tolerating mediocrity, and to reinstate that you perform the giving challenges, you have consequences for not completing them. It may seem harsh but this is a form of love because you all want the best for each other, and you become a group where bullshit isn’t tolerated, only straight honest talk.
