		<description>&lt;p&gt;Not sure i could say much of anything in praise of your talents where your critic wouldn&#039;t just minimalize it by saying I&#039;m biased, but i believe in your ability to overcome the critic because when it comes to the many things your talented at you have a drive that just wont stand for &quot;it stinks&quot;. Go ahead, cut Jon Lovitz&#039;s nose off ;)&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I know what you mean about the inner critic, and maybe it&#039;s difficult to replace Lovitz with another SNL alum: Al Franken. But doggonit, people like you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve been listening to your music for years now, and one thing I&#039;ve noticed is that it keeps getting better and better. What you produced years ago was very good. The stuff I&#039;ve heard lately is mind-blowing.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hey there mate ! How are you doing ?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Well, I don&#039;t know what&#039;s your background on music, drawing or films, but I think that one thing that might help you to lose that &quot;it stinks&quot; mentality, is to find you the best productions on each of those subjects, and i mean BEST, the kind of stuff that you just make a bow and say &quot;your Holiness..&quot;.
And then, everything you listen to (watch, or whatever you&#039;re doing), try to find something that you like, be it just the 7 second bass line on the bridge of some random tune. And from there, try to relate it with the things you liked about those  songs that are so good that you can&#039;t criticize. And if you start to listen to that particular song a certain number of times, even if you don&#039;t like it at first, as time goes by, you&#039;ll start to like the song more and more.
I don&#039;t know if you&#039;re familiar with the virtuoso guitarist Steve Vai, from Dave Lee Roth solo band, Whitesnake, and even Frank Zappa ! But his Passion &amp; Warfare album (regarded as his finest work) took me several sessions until I finally fell in love with it ! The only track I liked at first, Answers; I wouldn&#039;t say I would remove it from the album, but it&#039;s the only one I don&#039;t care much these days. 
There&#039;s always the &quot;love at first listen&quot; algums that you never cease to revere. But I also believe that this kind of approach makes you appreciate the work more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PS: Nice Rush reference.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Peace, love and good happiness stuff !&lt;/p&gt;
