When someone criticizes you, your first instinct is almost always to toss it.
Haters gonna hate, right?
Except sometimeseven haters are right.
Imagine things from another perspective.
If it’s something simple, try doing it before you disregard it.
Try on the hat.
Just try on the hat.
Put on a jacket that goes with the hat.
Walk around with the hat on.
Take a few pictures of yourself wearing a hat.
Then, if you want to, sure, stop wearing hats.
Would you be happy if you changed in the way your critic is suggesting?
Just the thought experiment itself can be enough to open your mind to better ways of thinking.
