Sorry I forgot to tell you about this, but I replied to you in the form of a blog post:

Well, I’m kinda going through both. I get a lot of positive feedback but I also get a few negative things and I find it hard not to take it personally. I’ve read the 4 Agreements and I always remind myself that it’s about them and not me.

Also, as a writer, I’ve been at a crossroad and I’ve been trying to decide if I should stick to the “safe” stuff and get a more broad appeal or just stick to my guns and really say what I think because in both cases I won’t be able to please everyone anyway.

Good stuff, Richard. Very insightful. I will try to read more of your blog. Thanks.

Thanks! That’s where writing this article helped me, though I don’t get much criticism.

Everything should be balanced… reading this might not be good if you have only positive influences in your life now, but if you’re going through a tough period this post could be helpful.

This article is so wonderful. You just gave me the best insight about criticism. Thanks for writing this. It has inspired me and encouraged me to push forward without being afraid of the opinion of the few vocal negative people.
