your own way - stop hating yourself

[ajajajak]

Hello,

I recently read an art history book which tried to explain what the different steps in the process of making art are. It explained carefully about style, technique, composition, form and colour, but the most important part was the way you as an artist/person give form to inspiration. It's your own way which makes things interesting and I think this is not only applicable to art but all other aspects of life.

We shouldn't focus on rejection but focus on going our own way, doing things according our own style and be proud of that. Like a thread here mentioned before your own way is golden. You as a person are golden. I hope i can instill this thought in myself and I hope many of others can too.

I just thought it was worth noting.

Have a good day!

I agree with both of you.
We should accept ourselves and be proud of what we feel we did well no matter what other people say. Everybody is wonderful, even when they act like idiots, they are still great people and shouldn't feel bad about themselves because it only hurts them.

But it is so hard. Logically I can do it, but emotionally I fall apart and start hating myself again. I guess because that's my habit. But I'm going to change that.

I'm not sure any of this is new, but nice to hear or read again and be reminded of. It's hard to do successfully and make your new way of thinking/lifestyle consistently - but so very important - it's a process to get there though, through all the highs and very lows to get to this point, but we all can do it =)
