Learning about who you are, what you do and why you do it, is a part of becoming a whole person.
Many of us become fractured throughout life due to the limited opinions and perceptions of others on who they think we are.
Their feedback is filtered through their own experiences and reference points, which is why their feedback is so convincing. They EXPERIENCED something that we remind them of, so they give us feedback which will reflect whether or not that was a good experience or a negative one.
