What I Don't Want To Hear

One thing that I've always struggled with is being able to be brutally honest when necessary. Many times I find that I would rather agree and take the easy road rather than tell the other person what I really think. Over these past 5 days I have visited with many who have been brutally honest with me and I have really appreciated that. I think many times I listen for what I want to hear and I don't take the time to really listen to the criticisms or advice that I'd rather not hear. I wish I could do this when speaking to others. I need to learn to be more bold and more honest with them. 2 things I want to get out of this. I want to be more honest with others and I want to take others' words and filter through them to see how I can work to become a better man, youth director, friend, and Christian. So if there's something you've been wanting to tell me, go for it. I'm listening. For real.
