your daily rock : ignore all critics

April 24, 2013 in Daily Rock, General

Are you creating things to make critics happy? Is that really the highest and best use of your life force, your creative spark, your soul, that big brain your body carries around?

I think not.

As Fritz Perls said, “If you need encouragement, praise, pats on the back from everybody, then you make everybody your judge.”

Make strong offers. Ignore the critics–it drives them crazy.

Love,
