What do you do when you’ve tried but fallen short? What do you do when things just don’t seem to be working out?

Where does natural ability and acquired skill separate from hard work and deliberate practice? Can anyone with enough time, passion, patience, and determination truly follow their passion full-time?

First, we need to define “good enough”. “Good enough” for who? “Good enough” for what? What have you been trying? How long have you been trying? Who are you comparing yourself to?

It’s really easy to feel like you’re not good enough. It’s a common feeling, especially when you’re just getting into an industry because you see the very best work. The very best work out there—the cream—rises to the top and that’s what you notice.

You don’t notice all the bad work, you notice the great work.

It’s easy to feel like that’s all that’s out there. You don’t compare to that and you’re not good enough.

What you need to do is spend less time seeing and more time doing. You have to focus on creating.
