Growing every day

There are times when we are wrong and correction is necessary. There is a biblical proverb about accepting correction and i believe it is necessary to not only accept it but actually correct it. Recently i had the opportunity to give an old tv away instead i offered to sell it to my friend. My mom quickly explained that i would give it to him and not sell it to him,  i became angry and got in a fight with my mom and family over it. The next day my dad asked me to get some stuff together so he could run by the house and pick it up, instead i unplugged it but left it where it was. My dad came home and got upset that i didn’t put it all together for him so he could grab it and go. My reaction was selfish and only added to my dad’s frustration that day (he had a tough day at work). Instead of doing what he asked i only half accomplished the task.I learned that if i say i wanna help people then it starts with the little things. Giving an a tv away is simple yet i fought it and when i was corrected i didn’t respond well! On top of all this one of my best friends explained how some remarks i had been making were hurting her and others. my first reaction was defensive then i really listened to what she was saying.After my dad left i washed the dishes so he wouldn’t have any other reason to get more upset and as i washed them i realized how foolish i had been acting! Correction is hard to handle and it often is easy to get upset and defensive but like QBQ (question behind the question) talks about, it is vital that we take responsibility for our actions. Once you take responsibility then you need to learn to listen, listen to how you can fix what it is you are doing, lastly apply it. after you make changes to a computer program you are given the option button “apply” and it is only when you choose to apply that change occurs!Listen, evaluate, admit wrong doing and apologize, change your settings “APPLY”
