You can choose between being corrected by words or by consequences.
Those who are wise do not wait for people to correct them. Rather, they regularly ask the people around them for feedback to know if they are on the right track or not. (Matthew 16:13)
Even when people criticise you with evil intentions, you can ignore their motives and listen to see if there is really something that you need to correct or improve on.
If people correct you once or twice and they see that you got angry, they will leave you alone.
“Even God will leave you alone after He has corrected you over something for a while and you refuse to listen (Romans 1:28). When was the last time you effected a positive change in your life after receiving a correction?”
MEMORISE: While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. (Hebrews 3:15)
