			<description><![CDATA[What is the relationship between the criticism you receive
and the criticism you inflict on yourself? Why do
so many people inflict daily doses of self-criticism upon themselves in
neurotic ways, that is, in ways that are patently unjustified,
unhealthy and self-sabotaging? To
what extent does a penchant for self-criticism turn uneventful episodes
of minor criticism into toxic, wounding events? <br/>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<img title="" alt="" src="http://talentdevelop.com/images/VanGoghBlues.jpg" align="left" border="0" height="80" hspace="11" vspace="5" width="50"/>In order for you to live an authentic, meaningful life, which is the
principal remedy for the depression creative people experience, you
must feel that 1) the plan of your life is meaningful, 2) the work you
do is meaningful, and 3) the way your spend your time is meaningful.
These are three separate but related tasks, each with its own logic,
demands, and obstacles.]]></description>

The first key to handling criticism is the existential key. Until you
decide that your path in life matters, that it is ultimately your
responsibility to live by your cherished principles, and that you and
only you can create a life worth living, you will have insufficient
motivation to put criticism in its place.<br/> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[
Most of us would be quick to say that we are free to think just about
anything and to express ourselves in any way we see fit. 

      
      In
reality, artists do a lot of measuring, somewhere just out of conscious
awareness, about what is safe or seemly to reveal and what is unsafe or
unseemly.<br/> ]]></description>

Interview by Janet Grace Riehl - 
<br/>Eric Maisel: Even

connection with yourself, one that is more aware, active, and
purposeful than the connection most people fashion with themselves.<br/> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[An interview by Douglas Eby. In the Introduction to his book The Van Gogh Blues: The Creative Person's Path Through Depression, Eric Maisel, PhD writes: "Creators have trouble maintaining meaning.
