Show notes: 

Being corrected is fundamental to the learning process. Every person in progress needs correction. Yet, to our own detriment, we too often resist and avoid correction.  

Four qualities the person who wisely receives correction possesses. 

• Humility: They place themselves under an authority for whom they trust guidance. 
• Vision: They see themselves as a person “in progress.” 
• Wisdom: They understand that correction is necessary. 
• Healthy Identity: They don’t over identify themselves with negative criticism.
