Whether it’s in relationships, work, or personal growth, feedback is one of the most powerful tools we have. But only if we’re brave enough to ask for it—and open enough to hear it.
Try this:
Ask someone you trust:
💬 “How am I doing?”
💬 “Is there something I could be doing better?”
💬 “Anything you wish I knew or noticed more?”
Then pause. Don’t explain. Don’t defend. Just listen.
Your only job:
Thank them.
Sit with what they said.
Decide what you want to take from it.
You don’t have to agree with everything. But if you want to grow, you have to be willing to hear what others experience around you—even when it stings.
Gracious receiving sounds like:
💬 “That’s hard to hear, but I appreciate you telling me.”
💬 “Thanks for being honest.”
💬 “I’m going to think about that.”
Feedback isn’t a personal attack. It’s a chance to expand your awareness, sharpen your instincts, and deepen your connections.
