Ever have doubts about your artwork? You’re in good company. This was Michelangelo’s comment on his work on the Sistine Chapel. It’s the striving for perfection that gives us meaning in life. There is an idea in Yoga that you compare yourself to what you were the day before. Measure your growth day by day. Trying to compare yourself to others is a waste of time. Realize you can do better and then do it.
I need to remember this saying. It is disheartens to not feel you are improving. Which you will feel if you compare to others works. Without realizing you are a different person and have different talents and may have been painting many years less.
