When I hold my work against the best in the world

Whatever I make, I hold it up next to the very best in the world — the top expert, the flawless example — and mine always looks small beside it. It doesn't matter how good the work actually is; against that benchmark it never stands a chance. I've set the bar in a place that guarantees I'll always feel like I fall short.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
