The way of fools is right in their own eyes, but those who listen to advice are wise.

Proverbs 12:15

Proverbs tells us that fools are right in their own eyes. In other words, they think because they do something it must be right. Fools never take time to consider life from a perspective other than their own. As a result, they don’t grow.

On the other hand, wise people listen to advice. Proverbs does not say wise people take advice, but that they listen to it and they grow. In the same way, we can listen to criticism and feedback and even if we determine it isn’t true or doesn’t apply to us, we grow and learn from the simple process of listening. 

Pray today for the grace to listen to advice and input from others and not get offended.
