Stop saying you want feedback.

All you do is argue with it.

Here's the hard truth:
Most feedback you receive is incomplete.
Most feedback you reject is valuable.

The problem isn't the feedback.
It's your ego defending its territory.

Here's what winners do differently:

  1. Accept the perspective
    → Even when it stings
    → Especially when you disagree
  2. Dig for the lesson
    → What threatens you most about this feedback?
    → What if they’re 10% right?
    → Growth hides where your ego flinches
  3. Resist the urge to defend
    → Your explanations kill learning
    → Nobody cares about your intentions
    → Defensiveness proves their point
  4. Keep it in context
    → One view isn’t the full picture
    → But patterns don’t lie
    → Ignore patterns, ignore growth

Your ego protects comfort.
Your growth protects your future.
Choose wisely.
