When people ask what I think about my own work, they're usually surprised at how negative or apathetic I am about it.

It's not because I don't think I produce professional work (I do), that I'm not good enough (I am), or that I'm one of the worst artists out there (I'm not). It's because I'm reaching for a higher level of competence and mastery. I see the gulf between myself and the work I study and respect.

If no one else tells you this, allow me: the satisfaction of being skilled enough to get professional level work is fleeting and unfulfilling. To put it in simpler terms, there's a difference between *good enough* and *good*.
