🌙 Ramadan Reminders: Day 1⃣5⃣🌙
“ Lower your Ego, Accept Advice ”
What is our response when we are advised? Do we automatically get ✋🏽defensive? Do we turn it around and try to find problems 👀with the person giving us advice?
We should accept naseeha. It might even be biased, but we should ask ourselves if there is some aspect of truth in it. It is important to think about what we can improve, and not get defensive.
We suffer from the “Don’t judge me, bro” culture – when someone is given 👓advice, they respond with this phrase. However, it has nothing 💬to do with judging! Do we not have the ability to recognize a mistake 🌂and help each other? We should be motivating one another to improve and 🌱grow. Today, there is the concept of, “I’m just being 😤me!” This is a problem – it is very poisonous because it makes us develop a mindset that we are above🙌🏼 being advised or corrected.
Sometimes it is uncomfortable, but that is okay, it will not 🐝harm us. We should ask ourselves, “What can we can 🌀take from this and ✅improve upon?” Even if it’s just 5%, it can go a long way!
