You may feel defensive today and easily bothered by the advice or opinions of others. Perhaps someone in your life is giving you their opinion regarding a situation in your life and you disagree with them. You may have a loved one or friend who is advising you to change your behavior or way of thinking. If you don't like what you are hearing from other people, it may be because their words are striking a chord within you. Their feedback may prove valuable if you are willing to listen to them. Try not to become too defensive, and assume that others have the best of intentions. It's a good idea to be open to any suggestions they might have for you today. Remember that you are the master of your life, and you don't have to follow anyone's advice unless it is for your highest good.

When we are open to people's opinions and feedback, we can benefit from their perspectives. The people around us have the ability to see our circumstances from a different point of view. They can see how our choices and behaviors are affecting us, and they can make helpful suggestions and offer constructive criticism that we may not have considered. Being open to receiving this information is a sign of maturity. Let your defenses down as you listen to what other people have to say today, and you will surely learn something useful about yourself and your life.
