To Love or Not to Love...

I have developed the ability to arrange/orchestrate things I do not love. That is a good thing, so that I am not torn apart when I realize that "my piece" is not perfect according to someone else's standards. However, at times I wonder if I shouldn't love my pieces just a little. I want to do well, but I don't want to take forever doing the projects. I complete them in a way that meets the requirements, and sometimes I like the melody/arrangement, sometimes not so much. However, I take little ownership of it now. I still want to do my best, but it has become an assignment with specific peramaters rather than a composition I want to pour myself into. Is this a bad thing?
