I agree, Chris. I know that I let the fear of criticism keep me from sharing my ideas at times. Healthy disagreements and debate are important to test our ideas and see if they are sound. The challenge for me is that discussion about my thoughts is often hard to hear. It’s much more pleasant to just have someone just tell me my idea is amazing without giving it any thought. But, as you said, if I want to grow, I need to embrace the discomfort and learn from others as they share their honest feedback on what I have to say, especially if it’s different than mine. Thanks for your input. I appreciate your perspective.

I think all to often we put ourselves in the position of a 4th grader because we are afraid of putting ourselves out there with original thoughts or ideas. In the world of social media, everyone is a critic and an expert. We all need to be as confident as a 5th grader and have healthy dialog about our ideas. Learning other perspectives is how we grow!
