Not All Opinions Matter

Just a short thought today... Last night I had a great conversation with someone I highly respect and who has extensive training in Daito Ryu Kodokai (and out of respect for him, I will keep anonymous), and he paid me some compliments I'm still not sure I deserve, but it got me thinking... When people criticize your work, it's important to note where that criticism is coming from. The internet has provided an equal platform to anyone with a keyboard, and some people just aren't qualified to give an opinion. Where the comments come from is just as, if not more important than, what was actually said. Quality is subjective, and I am sure there are plenty of people out there who think I suck as a martial artist, but comments like these let me know I'm on the right path in shugyo...

That’s excellent! Don’t let anyone try to limit or diminish what you do for the students and the martial arts community. Keep creating and posting and growing. Because if you stop or lessen your contribution then they win. You, and those who support you, know the value of what you bring. That’s all that matters. I’m proud of what you’re doing, whether my opinion “qualifies” or not lol ;-)
