Being able to pinpoint your own flaws is a huge asset. What I do with my flaws is point them out and come up with what are my weak spots or things I like to avoid doing altogether, pick up material related to those areas and try to improve while doing new pieces. Always try to finish stuff but never get stuck on a piece, move on to a new one. In my experience down the road you will look back and realize there were far more things wrong on a fundamental level with an old piece that you wouldn't be able to fix without redoing the piece to fix those areas you weren't even aware on back then and that you would have never discovered by being stuck on it.
