I'm a pretty competitive person. No, really, I hate being last. And I really hate being second.
My problem is that I'm lacking in talent in so many things. But there are also many things I'm really very good at. Nevertheless, I beat myself up over the things I can't achieve.
Therefore I put myself under a lot of pressure. However, over the past few months, I've (finally) decided to concentrate all my energies on the things I do really well, and forget about everything else. This is A Good Thing. It means I am now confident and comfortable with what I can do. It is not case of "I'm not playing anymore, 'cos I don't like this game". I have achieved many things in life, and will continue to do so. By not dwelling on failure or perceived inadequacies, I can achieve much more.
Take for example, music. I write music. I enjoy writing music. A couple of times I've been asked to play keyboards in a band. Which I've done. However, I really can't play for toffee. I've ended up putting a lot of effort in and still feeling crap at it. I don't have the time to do huge quantities of practice, nor do I have enough natural talent to wing it. Now, rather than beating myself up over my lack of talent, I have decided to admit defeat and not put myself through the mill. Instead, I will concentrate on what I like doing best...writing. I will look back upon the gigs as a great experience, which I'm really grateful I had the chance to do...and move on. And I will not be jealous of people who do have talent...for they will have spent long hours getting to that level and won't be as good as me at other things.

I would say only do things that you enjoy! However it is likley that you enjoy the things you are really good at, so I agree with your comments. Good for you, and I may also do the same. |

Knowing you are good at something is more than alot of people realise. It is good for the soul to be wonderful at something and be happy in doing it. I wish you well with your writing. God put me in charge so it is all my fault... sorry. |
