M any people end up criticizing when what they intended to do was challenge. Criticizing is pointing out what is wrong. Challenge is pointing out what is possible.
Criticism can be very destructive.
It can sap the will. Challenge, on the other hand, is quite possibly the most loving thing you can do for someone. It can focus, energize, motivate and compel. The next time you're tempted to criticize, ask yourself why you have that urge. You cannot build yourself up by destroying another.
