Episode 3994: Joshua Fields Millburn reflects on how personal taste shapes our judgments, reminding us that not everything is meant for everyone, and that’s perfectly fine. By separating subjective preference from objective critique, he encourages us to create boldly, accept criticism wisely, and let go of what doesn’t resonate so we can focus on what truly does. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.theminimalists.com/this/ Quotes to ponder: "If other people took pleasure in their set, then that means it simply wasn’t for me. And that’s okay." "The more you create, the more you will be criticized. And that, too, is okay, because some criticism is helpful." "If you don’t enjoy them, then they probably aren’t for you, they’re for someone else." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
