Positive motives are:

• To improve our performance: Without a good feedback, none of us would be able to learn anything. Whether our work or our actions are reviewed when we see the good pointers inside the criticism, we know that this critic is trying to improve our performance.

• To show his feelings, if we have, intentionally or unintentionally, done something to hurt him: Especially in close personal relationships, to tell of one's feelings is better than to hide them inside. "Your behavior or your words frustrate me," may sound like a negative criticism especially during an argument, but it is in fact a very positive statement, more helpful to the relationship than holding the frustration inside. We must recognize that the other person is letting us know how our behavior affects them.

• To perk up a relationship: When someone outside of a relationship tells gently and without accusations that what we are doing is hurting the relationship, we must listen to what he is saying. He is trying to improve our relationships.

• To show empathy and compassion: To solve our problems a person may offer help by pointing out what we are doing wrong. This type of criticism may be misunderstood as a negative intent by someone who is trying to control us. We need to look carefully at the delivery and the kindness of the criticism to distinguish if the intent is positive or negative.

• To guard self-interest: The critic here is not trying to belittle us but is trying to assert his rights, especially if we are taking advantage of him. We know this because his words are not hurtful and accusatory. For example: "I have already done most of the yard work. Please help me. You might tape your show and watch later."

The intent behind a criticism may not be what we may first feel it is. We might mistakenly take a positive intent for a negative one or vice versa. In either case, it is necessary to evaluate the delivery of the criticism and try to see beyond what the criticism may appear to be, so we may enjoy improved personal growth and relationships and enhanced performance.
