I SAID I'd take care of it!

That is it! I am no longer open to any criticism about me, my life, my character, the way I say things, the way I don't say things, what I like, dislike, want or need. I'm done. I've been way too open to hear what others think is wrong about me. If I continue to let what people say affect the way I operate I will no longer be me. I am able to discern the difference between when people are coming from a loving place when they say things to me and when they are coming from a place that is not right. I know because when I hear something that is true about myself I feel convicted. But when people start to tell me stuff and I feel attacked or just plain sad and I know I've made an effort not to be hurtful......I'm just not taking that anymore. I am not a bad person! I know this and lately that's how I've been made to feel. Take me as I am or leave me alone. And if you have criticism for me or anyone else, make sure its coming from love and not anything else or it will not be recieved.
