Do you ever feel like your work isn't good enough? Or wonder why you can never seem to utterly impress yourself, yet you're completely in awe at the work of others around you? Isn't it funny that usually people feel this way about themselves but can look at your work and be in awe, despite your own self doubt? As it turns out, you're not alone. The reason why we often find it hard to love our own work as much as others is due to the blindness we have towards our own growth. We are constantly learning, being creative and developing our skills. So every time we look back on previous work it feels like old news. It's time to develop, be even more creative and learn something else. This explains why you love the work of others, it is';t something you explored yourself, it's fresh and new and you just wish you could've thought of that. Don't let yourself get blinded. Start appreciating how much you've grown by comparing old work to more recent work. Can you imagine your past self being super impressed by what you've done today? Take the compliments from others as happily as you would give them :) |
