A Critic By Any Other Name Is Still A Critic
Maybe they are someone people look at as judges. Some feel though they are only calling it like they see it or telling it like it is.
If you have to knock someone else down two notches to elevate yourself one notch, you weren’t anywhere to start with.
They work at the rumor mill where they manufacture things that don’t build anyone or anything up.
Matthew 12:34-37 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Idle words are words that have no profit or benefit to be spoken. They may have some truth but do nothing to help anyone or their situation.
You can call a Critic someone who wants to hold it like it is, tell it like it is or whatever, but they are still a Critic.
I have trouble with the three C’s– criticize, condemn and complain.

Almost everyone was born with the same things: A Brain, Two Eyes, Two Ears, etc. You can be whatever you set that brain ( your mind) you came with the desire to .
If a caterpillar can turn into a butterfly, you can be transformed into something much better than you start with.
You have to be willing to let somebody help you change. You have to be open and you’ve got to give someone permission to push it then not be offended
A tree will never be anything but a tree. A pine tree will never turn into an oak tree.
A dog will never be anything but a dog. A poodle dog will never turn into a German Shepherd. But you have the ability to change and to become.
I would try to change but I’m 50 years old, and it will probably take five years.
How old will you be in five years if you don’t change. Won’t you still be 55?
It’s up to you. You are the director of your life and no one can do it for you or hold you back, but you!
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
7/15 I heard of story of a man that was so inflexible that he wouldn’t bend for anything or anybody. He was in a boat with another person who fell out of the boat. He could’ve easily reached down and got a hold of that person but it would require him to bend. So for the sake of his image he let the other person perish!

Story:
If I Had My Life To Live Over
The following was written by the late Erma Bombeck after she found out she had a fatal disease.
If I had my life to live over, I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded.
I would have eaten the popcorn in the ‘good’ living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.
I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass.
This is so true! In life there are no practice runs or laps. There are also no re-do’s. We only have one time through to get it right….so, we had better make it good!!
