Ghanaian Gospel artiste Celestine Donkor has opened up about how she deals with criticism and negative feedback, particularly in the gospel community.

In an interview with Doreen Avio on Daybreak Hitz, Celestine revealed that she has learned to pick her battles and focus on positive energy.

“I am naturally somebody who says exactly what is on my mind. My dad is like that and I have his blood, unfortunately, but I've grown to or I've matured to understand that it's not everything that you can say,” she said.

Celestine went on to share a personal experience where she posted a picture with her husband, only to receive a negative comment.

“So when I hear criticism or I read it, like for example, I posted my husband and I our picture on a very nice day that my husband did me good and I felt like posting our picture, you know, appreciating him and I posted our picture, to motivate him to do more. And then somebody went to comment on the picture that 'stop disturbing us with this post. You, your own too will not last.' I studied linguistics so I can write. You know, I would have taken my time to write and reply, but Mr. Donkor no go gree," she recounted.

The gospel artiste emphasized the importance of focusing on positive vibes.

“I think people must be told exactly what they need to be told, you know. But I've matured to understand that you don't have to reply to everything. It’s not everything you have to follow. It is important to focus on those who are giving you the positive vibe, even if it is 1%. It is enough to keep your power and fuel going. That’s what I’ve resolved. In short I’m unbothered,” Celestine stated.

Celestine's approach to handling criticism is a testament to her growth and maturity as an artiste. By choosing to focus on positivity, she is able to maintain her energy and continue doing what she loves.
