The four types of critics

When you share your work, you will always find four critics:

  1. Shame: That gremlin that whispers you're not enough or if you're feeling confident,  the gremlin that tells you, "Who do you think you are?"
  2. Scarcity: What am I doing that's original? What is special in what I contribute?
  3. Comparison.
  4. Your teacher, parent, critical co-worker. "I don't worry about what the critics think": When we stop caring what people think, we lose our capacity for connection. But when we are defined by what people think, we lose our capacity to be vulnerable.
