I had written about negative thinking and it’s costs and had casually mentioned that assuming you were going to shoot a masterpiece today was at least marginally better. G Dan Mitchell made the very sensible point that photographers have to believe that they can and will shoot a masterpiece – that we need to believe that to keep shooting.

I’d like to expand on that a bit. I think it’s important to recognize the differences amongst goals, dreams, aspirations, expectations, standards, and intentions.

George has a interesting series of posts on this topic.
