There are two pieces of advice that I think are partly true and very useful. The first is, “Don’t take it personally.” That is, try and look for the truth in a criticism – as if it was about someone else. The second is, “Take personal responsibility for your situation”. That is: do what you can with what you’ve got.
These two pieces of advice can seem contradictory. I think that “not taking it personally” can actually help us to take “personal responsibility”. I have a guest post on the Psychology, Philosophy and Real Life blog about this. It’s called Taking it Personally and Personal Responsibility. I hope you like it.
