You have to decide that you've been doing things wrong and people don't like to do that.
They don't like to admit fault.
They don't like to look at themselves in a negative way and analyze what they've done wrong and be critical of themselves.
It's encouraged to think that everyone else is the reason why you are not happy.
Well, even if it is criticism, it doesn't matter.
It's like if coaching is good, like if you can be coachable, that's like one of the best indicators that you're going to do well in life.
If you could take direction and instruction from someone who knows what they're talking about.
If you want to learn something, like say if you want to learn jujitsu, you have to listen.
You have to really listen.
And the people that don't listen, they don't get better.
Well, also, how do you look at yourself?
Do you look at yourself as like do you –
think of yourself as only being valuable if you're good at a thing, right?
And if you're not good at that thing, do you take it as a slight against you?
Or do you just understand that you are a person, this is you, and this thing you're doing is something you don't know how to do as well as this person who's teaching you.
And if you can do that, then you can get better.
And then getting better at anything that you are trying to do that's difficult, any discipline, that discipline becomes a vehicle
for developing your human potential.
If you can figure out how to get good at that by listening to this person and then proceeding and seeing the steps of improvement, you can apply that to everything in life.
