Tear it down

Tear it down, then what? What goes in its place?

It’s far easier to say ‘tear it down’ or ‘I don’t like that’ than to propose something else.

It’s substantially more positive and rewarding, to create an alternative, even if it is hard work initially.

Different options, if inspirational, motivate action and long lasting change.

You can not change by using criticism, you can by providing another choice that is not reliant on referencing how bad what is already there is.

Ignore what you do not like, and build an alternative that others can be inspired by.

Tear it down leads to being anti rather than pro something you believe to be better.

After all, it is all opinion.

We all do it.

‘You did a super job, I’m really pleased, but….’ and then comes the criticism.

We sandwich the shit in between two chocolate cookies.

We deliver the good with routine and BAM!!! the punch in the face.

The thing is, the critic doesn’t matter as they are not in the ring taking the punches.

No one likes being criticised, yet we often do it to others.

Think, do and say only good things. Catch people doing something right.

Encouragement, praise, and support are things none of us tire of.
