I expect myself to not succeed sometimes.
I think that there are many other people who have worked harder than me, and they’ve produced a lot better than mine. But at the same time, I’ve gotten access through friends and other social networks. Other times, I’ve been told that my work is good, and I receive praise for it.
But I receive it badly, I am shy, and I thank them, but I also turn them to the faults I see in my work.
Then two or three years pass, and I look at my old work, and I wonder how I managed to create something that looks that good. I wonder if I could ever make that work again, and I understand that my work was indeed good.
I need to manage my expectations for success, and to allow myself to succeed more often.
