Flaws

Do you see the flaws and then ignore them or do you simply not see them at all?

I sometimes think about myself in comparison to my artwork. Over the years I have noticed that the things I used to like I can now see flaws in and thus I wait until I have developed enough to see flaws in what I like now.
This is completely how I see myself as well. I'm growing and developing all the time. So much so that I can never be sure if I like what I see now or if I have fixed the flaws that I know I used to have. Maybe I'm am just developing a whole new set of flaws that I will eventually discover and then try to fix.
Or will I eventually see the final me and be happy because I have finally worked out all the flaws.
I know that it is important to love myself and my work despite the fact that it needs work to be truly great, but can I love and still acknowledge the truth of the changes that still need to be made?
