I try to do the same, but am not always succesful. I'm not sure if anyone else does this, but I often get discouraged by the thing that motivates me....and sometimes it's the other way around. I got interested in photography by seeing all these beautiful photos of incredible people, places and things. It really FIRED me up to buy gear and become a photographer!! But sometimes, I can look at those same photos, and they discourage me....I wonder, "Am I ever going to take just ONE photograph that moves someone like this pic moved me?" But that's when I take your advice and try to focus on the positive, which is that all these photographers were total amatuers once too...and if THEY had given up the race, I would never have been inspired to even START the race.
