‘Good work’ is relative.

You know how sometimes when you or somebody you know is complaining because some old piece of theirs is getting passed around or reviewed but they feel like it’s old and crappy? 

Think about this: the people who are admiring it and commenting on it think it’s beautiful.  To them, at their level of skill, that piece is something to strive for.

So when you feel bad about your work, you’re not mad at yourself because you’re not good.  You’re mad because you’re not as good as good as you WANT to be.

But to some people out there, you’re already someone to look up to.
