It’s easy to become identified with an image of yourself. But the more attached you are, the less you’re able to hear constructive feedback. Since it’s highly unlikely that you’re absolutely perfect, a willingness to look at yourself enables you to evolve without feeling threatened or defensive. When you understand that feedback isn’t about who you are, but how you act, you can hear it as friendly advice and then you’re on the path…

To self-mastery.
