I'm not trying to make a big social statement with this stamp, but I do feel it's a sentiment that's important to remember. I see so many hurt feelings because someone the person looks up to (or feels is their superior) doesn't like their work...or doesn't like them personally. I think we should look to others for support and guidance, but we should not tie-up our worth and self-esteem on what someone else thinks of us. Value opinions, but don't let them make or break you. Particularly with art, do what you love. Learn from the critiques, but don't let them destroy you.

This is a lesson I try to live by, but find myself forgetting from time to time. ;)

*** :aww: As with most of my smileys, you may use this on and off dA, without my permission. The only thing I ask is that you keep the file name in tact and don't remove any credit information. If you do use it for something, it would be nice if you could comment and let me know. It encourages me to make more smileys if I know people are using/enjoying them. ***

Please make a separate stamp that says "Value opinions but don't let them make or break you." :love: Words that can't be truer, Mirz!

AHEM! I've had ever so many friends who quit art all together by one insult. :(

I know. It's so terrible how many people take that kind of thing to heart.

As much as I'd love to support this, the opposite is true for me. I determine my worth by what others say/think of me. :hmm:
