The importance of being self-critical

Being a perfectionist, or a self critical person is no stranger to me. It’s the curse of creativity.

We as creatives are always hungry, striving to make better things, and work tirelessly at improving. But is it possible to actually achieve a perfect creative project?

In my opinion, I don’t think I’ll ever be totally satisfied with my work, that’s not to say it isn’t good enough. I just have more of a modest mindset, I worry that if I were to finally achieve a piece of work that I couldn’t criticise, that’s where ego is born.

I’m always learning and always looking to break new barriers in my creation, how do you overcome these feelings, do you strive for perfection?
