Unconditional Positive Regard

I try not to be critical of people, but when I am critical of people for shit that I do myself I feel like a hypocrite. I hate hypocrites! I must stop being critical! My dad was a Colonel in the army so he was paid to be critical and observe what was wrong with his troops instead of what was right so I learned to be critical from the best. I am not in the army so this isn’t a real useful skill. In fact, I teach so I am there to build up the kid’s self-esteem not tear it down. My boss says to, “show unconditional positive regard towards everyone.” It’s almost a mantra for her. I love her attitude – she really does appreciate the good things in people while ignoring the not so good. I wish I had enough fortitude to do the same.
