most excellent post!! yes yes and yes. 2-10 I have covered and sometimes even in spades. In fact I take great pride in this. I will say however - and this is only speaking for myself - that despite my rigorous, courageous, diligent and thorough work on myself (meditation included), I haven't yet completely divorced my well-being and satisfaction in my work from outside response/validation. Somehow it seems integral to offer something that gives something to people which for me involves feedback. But the goal is to "Realize your true worth and never tie that self worth to anything outside of yourself". One day I'll get there!

It occurred to me that part of the problem with #1 in my life is that my art making is my livelihood and thus my self-worth is mixed up more than it would be otherwise.
