I subscribed to your channel a few days ago, when I saw the cool pictures you posted with the “live well, tell no one” on each of them.

That whole string of photos are now rotating as wallpapers on my phone!

Really love what you’re doing 💪🏻 it’s such a good reminder.

Your article also makes me think of Theodore Roosevelt’s “Man in the arena” speech.

Thank you for reading and you’re right, even I was getting shades of the man in the arena while writing this one.

It took me about two years to stop paying attention to those critics who criticize for their own ego. Yes, the internet is often a very toxic environment. Just ask yourself: what would you do if all this were said to you out loud, face to face? I would stop communicating with these people. So I don't communicate with them. 😀

Absolutely. I observe, but never communicate back.

My friend,

We're all entitled to our concepts and opinions. It's a great thing.

But if you put it out into a public platform, you welcome the opportunity to be criticized and brought into the fair eyes of everyone.

And if your message seems contradictory and potentially misleading, it's going to be commented on.

You have to understand why publicly posting a note that receives likes, comments, and brings engagement to your platform, built on a message about privacy, solitude, and "not telling anyone," is going to bring a fair amount of criticism your way. To me, this shouldn't really catch you off guard.
