People have frequently said that "we are our own worst critic". Maybe it's because we know ourselves best, that we know we can do better. If we are lazy or stubborn, we know it. Being harsh during those times can be acceptable. But when it comes to things that we have no control over, then we should learn to give ourselves a break. We are easy to find fault in ourselves, but don't give enough credit. Balance is key.
I agree and also think that some people give themselves too much credit; ego isn't very productive for a person and I find it repellant.
