When we're young, most of us start hungry for knowledge.
We're happy to accept advice or help or support or teaching or just information that might prompt us in the right direction or help us to stop making mistakes.
As we get older, for a lot of us, this is less so.
Challenge is essential, and accepting challenge is critical. A learning mindset, an open mind; we’re happy to consider the advice of others who are more or even less experienced than you but have a different perspective; it’s the path to get better.
I don't ever want to get to the stage where I am unhappy with the uncomfortable feeling of challenge and don't embrace it. Finding the right people to challenge you is a beautiful thing; it just doesn't feel perfect at the time, but afterwards and on reflection you know it's the right thing to do.
