A Matter of Choice

I would like it if judgment or criticism toward me had no impact on my feelings, that I simply received it objectively, took any necessary corrective action, and felt no personal injury.  The problem with feeling personal injury is that I tend to get defensive.  Unfortunately, I am not that person but I can and do choose to not act defensively.  What I do is feel the feelings, let them pass, shift into a loving and forgiving feeling and go about my day.
