I recall a story about famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who, when asked;. "Which one of your buildings is your favorite?" He replied; "My next one!"

As a logo/brand/id design freelancer, I feel the same way. Each new project is an opportunity to conitune my growth as a designer. When a new project comes my way, it's hard to not think about it. My mind races with design concepts, thoughts about the client or product.

Of course, a new project isn't enough for growth.

There are several different online design communities where designers of all type can share their work and recieve input from other designers. Currently, I am on LoveDsgn and Forrst. I hope to soon get on Dribbble. In the past, I have had a rather small group of people from whom I have solicited input on a design project in progress. Some are designers, but most not. Both offer valuable insight into whether I am moving in the right direction or not. Regardless of their design background, they can offer unbiased insight. I hope that by being a part of these communities I can accelerate my growth as a designer by getting feedback from other talented designers who will look at my differently than I do.
