I’ve never paid much attention to it, but something I’ve noticed is that I’m absolutely in love with my work. I’m in love with the things I’ve produced.
I know I’m not as good of a writer as Steve Pavlina or Leo Baubauta, but for some reason, I find it more enjoyable to read my archives than their old posts.
Same thing with juggling. On average I’ll watch one of my videos 10-15 times before publishing it, yet still enjoy watching it. In a few months I’ll even go back and watch them again just for fun.
I’m obsessed with the things I’ve produced and I’m not sure why. Perhaps I like seeing how I’ve grown and improved since a given video or post, or maybe I just like looking back for the nostalgia factor.
Either way, I think the loving manner in which I look back at my old work is extremely healthy. Instead of criticizing myself on all the things I’ve done wrong, I enjoy the imperfections. I don’t get worked up in the, “What if I would’ve done this?” or, “What if I would’ve done that?”
I see a lot of people beating themselves up over imperfect past creations, and while it’s important to learn from your past mistakes, it’s also important to not dwell on them.
