When it comes to faith in yourself, you cant listen to the negative perspectives of others. Its sometimes more dangerous to listen to the praise of others! Many times I have based my happiness on my success. In those times I didnt have a healthy definition of success and this allowed a certain level of incompleteness in my life to falsely feel completed. This also made me vulnerable to challenging opinions of others and my motivation hung in a toxic balance. It seemed that I always felt as if I needed to prove something. Dont get me wrong, much of this helped shape and grow my skills but if you havent experienced loneliness as an artist then youve not searched yourself deep enough. ***The trick is coming back with renewed strength. Surround yourself with people that inspire, encourage and most important, people that celebrate you. Dont pay attention to self proclaimed critics. Spend more time pushing your art forward and the least amount of your time tracking others opinions. There is danger in living day to day awaiting accolades. Do not boast, dont even take yourself that seriously because this may be your last day. Every moment presents a path, just choose dont ask, live low and reach high. Love.
