Leadership Thought #320 – People Only Make You Feel Small If You Let Them
We cannot control what people say or do, but we can control how we respond to it. It’s important to remember that no one can make you feel anything; you choose to feel that way. It is unfortunate how a few unkind words or obvious negative body language can affect us. I’ve seen successful and confident people wilt under the glare of another person’s disapproval. None of us is perfect, and we all make mistakes, so only take constructive feedback to the degree that it helps you improve and grow. If the feedback isn’t constructive, simply block it out or ignore it.
