“No not that way!” – a critique

Seventh thing to stop doing in order to be happier is to stop Criticizing.  We are all guilty of this.

Why? Because we believe that we can do it better than anyone else.  We have the experience, the education, the know how to get the job done the way it should be done.

Surprising when you give people the vision of where you want to go how often you are surprised by results better than you would have gotten. Why? Because, like you, people have different experiences and education and can produce results that might be better than yours.  You never know until you stop criticizing and allow them to attempt to exceed your expectations.

I do believe that you have to set the vision and the expectations BUT allow them the freedom to execute it their way.  This gives them pride of ownership.  If you meddle then you are critiquing and will never be given the gift of them exceeding your expectations.

Today’s question is:

“Can you go for one day without criticizing anyone?”
