Heading into 2025, I have been studying lots from spiritual teaches such as Eckhart Tolle and Wayne Dyer over the last six months. This is what I have learned regarding critics and their opinions of me.
If they criticise me, specifically, my body; they better have an athletic body, that looks fantastic and is marketable on camera. They better be fit and demonstrate the example a what a hot bod looks like by their own diligence, dedication, hard work to achieve physical perfection.
They need to lead by example. 😌
Then, I will listen and respect them.
If not. They are telling a narrative they obviously do not believe in by their own lack of standards. And I will ignore their opinions.
If a singer, criticises my original songs and music videos, they better be prepared to show me their own body of work, placing their heart and soul in song and creative artistry for the world to see. They must be prepared to be vulnerable and take the greatest of risks - to be seen for who you are.
Just like myself and all musicians who share original music. It is a skill and it takes hours, days and years of work to seek improvement.
If you are a better writer than me; show me how I can improve and teach me.
This post is not about arrogance at all.
It is about no longer tolerating criticism from people who know less than you or sometimes (people who criticise you because they are simply jealous or envious for whatever reason.) Those people who are not prepared to put in the hard work and hours you do to better yourself and improve your craft, are not worth being around.
The world has millions of people, businesses & creative groups who will vibe with you and can help you scale your craft and business.
I love learning from people who are an example of what I am trying to achieve. People more popular and skilled than me because of their incredible writing ability, their vocal skill, talent within their craft of being a songwriter is the type of crowd I want to learn from,
In 2025, I am leaning into a new era and I am so excited to do do.
Do not let anyone BS you about why you are not good enough.
Learn to observe others behaviours, listen, study and make wise decisions,
Not all people are who you imagine them to be.
Some people have only their own interests at heart and will criticise you loudly! 😅😂
Ignore them
If you hang around them they will subtly put you down to make you doubt yourself.
DO NOT FU*KING FALL FOR IT.
You are magical, intelligent and wise. Watch people deeply before you decide if their opinions have merit…
Or not.
It is your life.
You are fabulous and have the right to choose. X
I am heading into 2025 with the opinion that if the people are right for me, they will understand my journey & my kōrero.
My journey is my own and I am leaning into a new, guilt free, exciting intuitive led, style of sharing music that is all about connecting with people and making those around me feel such bliss and happiness when I am singing. ✨❤️
Good night whanau. Peaceful dreams. 🙂🙂🙂😆😆
I wish you an amazing new year full of dreams, desires and new blessings.
