Ambition

Like most things, I'm pretty critical of my 3d work, most of the time I think my work is mediocre and that I haven't improved in years. But I have moments when I achieve something and I think "Wow, that's quite impressive, I've really made a notable improvement" and I surprise myself. I think this is certainly a healthy thing for anyone who wants to be good at what they do. Although sometimes I'm too ambitious in the short term, setting myself up for certain failure. I don't think being ambitious for the long term is a bad thing, but if I use my ambition without any small rewards of success, I won't have any left to achieve the bigger and better.

I think this problem extends to more than just my artwork, but my lifestyle. I'm trying to change these habits, and create a feeling of more frequent feelings of success and achievement.

In other news, I recently organized the Brisbane Finnish and Finland Group, arranging regular meetups for Finns and people interested in Finland. I'm meeting quite a few interesting people, and also looking forward to being able to practice my Finnish with people again.
