I recently read my 6th grade report card that might pass as my report card today at 48, "Paul is capable of doing better work. He just needs to take it more seriously. He does not take suggestions well." I always perceived people's comments as threats and even suggestions as severe criticism. I thought people were being hard on me. I've come to see how critical I have been on myself and others. I see how much i have overlooked about the difference i have made in people's lives. I have let go of resentment I have had towards my father and realize what a remarkable journey he has had and what a great man he has become. I no longer blame him for my life working out, because I see my life has worked out, it continues to be a remarkable journey. Even more so now that I see feedback as good news. Even when things are going wrong, i know it's taking me to a good place, and I usually say, "Thank You God, may i have another" (He keeps taking my offer!) I am reminded of Nelson Mandela's quote: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?” Great Topic,
