Everyone has things about themselves they get down on, and wish they could change. Mine lately is my inability to listen to advice. I’ve never been great at this, but it seems like lately I’m exceptionally closed minded if it’s not my idea. I imagine some of that comes from my project management job where I have to be hyper organized and in control. Nothing gets in the way of my deadlines!

I hear things coming out of my mouth, and as I’m saying them, I know I don’t believe them. “That won’t work” (Yes it will!), “We don’t need that” (Yes we do!). I know/work/live with some amazing people and I can’t stand the thought of them thinking that I don’t respect their opinion, or that I’m needlessly argumentative.

If you know me, dear god, call me out on it if you see me doing it.

Let’s hope I actually listen. :)
