Nice to hear from you. I give thanks for your taking to time to connect. Yes... I agree, taking people's opinions personally will usually result in pain. This can even be the case with apparently "positive" comments, for a number of reasons. In my experience, the key here is to take nothing personally; remain aware and alert to the moment; and remain humble enough to "look into the mirror" that is presented by "the world around me" in every moment. You are welcome to print out this article and give a copy to your son. Blessings... Jonathan Don. Nice to hear from you. I give thanks for your taking to time to connect.
