How to manage an internal critic? An inspirational short story on how to manage internal or external critics and keep chasing your dreams . 

The Artist and the Critic story. Soulful Stories P2.


I trust stories and parables have special powers to heal us and inspire us in an unusual way. So if you like it - share it. But most importantly, keep doing your little crazy creative things. Despite what the critics say. Their souls are just starved and empty, and all you can do is to pity them and let them go. Possibly there is a journey ahead of them.

Tommy was wandering around the forest and lost his way… another storyteller was my dad… reading us stories about Mr Goat travelling to his dream city “Pacanow”. My dad always recalls that I would not go to sleep until he read me the story again and again… so here I am, adult me, now writing stories and making things up out of the blue...
