Many great musicians have said that if you demand that they play all the notes correctly they can’t also make music." ... “I keep hearing ‘No heart!’ ‘No heart!’" Tears came. “What am I supposed to do at this point? Go see the Wizard of Oz and get a heart?” I smiled. “Well, I have a simple solution. Feel free to play in a heartfelt way and the hell with the notes.”]]> no@spam.com (Eric Maisel) http://talentdevelop.com/articlelive/articles/1047/1/Banishing-Perfectionism/Page1.html http://talentdevelop.com/articlelive/articles/890/1/Permission-to-Feel/Page1.html While it's at times necessary to keep certain emotions out of sight (when we're on the street), it's harmful to try to keep them out of mind (when we are alone). Holding ourselves to the same standards in solitude, denying ourselves the permission to experience unwanted emotions or feel indecent feelings when we are alone, is potentially harmful to our well-being.]]> no@spam.com (Tal Ben-Shahar) http://talentdevelop.com/articlelive/articles/890/1/Permission-to-Feel/Page1.html http://talentdevelop.com/articlelive/articles/889/1/Just-Let-Go/Page1.html The yearning for perfection has its roots in the Garden of Eden, having descended there from Heaven; it blossomed throughout Western Philosophy, first in the shape of Plato's forms, and then in the form of Weber's ideal types. "When Plato wrote that everything on earth has its ideal version in heaven," says Diane Ackerman, "many took what he said literally. But for me the importance of Plato's ideal forms lies not in their truth but in our desire for the flawless."]]> no@spam.com (Tal Ben-Shahar) http://talentdevelop.com/articlelive/articles/889/1/Just-Let-Go/Page1.html http://talentdevelop.com/articlelive/articles/884/1/Perfectionism-and-Depression-What-to-Do-When-Being-a-Perfectionist-Drags-You-Down/Page1.html ]]> no@spam.com (Hale Dwoskin - Sedona Training) http://talentdevelop.com/articlelive/articles/884/1/Perfectionism-and-Depression-What-to-Do-When-Being-a-Perfectionist-Drags-You-Down/Page1.html http://talentdevelop.com/articlelive/articles/871/1/Being-a-perfectionist---is-it-a-vice-or-asset/Page1.html ]]> no@spam.com (Douglas Eby) http://talentdevelop.com/articlelive/articles/871/1/Being-a-perfectionist---is-it-a-vice-or-asset/Page1.html http://talentdevelop.com/articlelive/articles/870/1/A-Fresh-Look-at-Perfectionism/Page1.html The issue isn’t whether or not being a perfectionist is good or bad: it’s what you decide to be perfectionist about!  Or put it another way: If you’ve always been a perfectionist, go for it!  Just remember, you need to rise to the challenge and be a perfect perfectionist!  We don’t want any imperfect perfectionism!
