thecrushgroovin: 1. The creator begins creating something he loves. He does it for no reason other than he loves it. He’s never criticized because the creator, two of his friends, and his mom are the only people that know about his work. Because there is genuine passion in his work and it has real value to others, he is eventually recognized and attracts a small following. 2. As his following grows, so do his critics. Suddenly the creator is inundated with information on why his creation is not as good as he thought. Everyone claims that his creation could be done better if only someone else were in charge. The creator becomes defensive. He suddenly spends as much of his time responding to critics as he does improving his creation. Eventually, most of his decisions finish with the lingering thought, “What will the critics say?” 3. Over a period of weeks, months, or years the creator realizes that the critics are cowards. He instantly recognizes criticism that is borne of ignorance and discards it. He expects criticism and uses it to gauge whether he is on the right track. He knows that cowards will always attack his creation, because it reminds the cowards that they could not create it. The creator then goes back to the root of what made his creation great: his creativity, his work ethic–his vision for his work.
