I just have to work to earn money.

There is honour and righteousness in that.  It is to be applauded, in my opinion (if you can find the ability and spoons to do work.)

.......I'm not sure it matters how that sentence is finished......I believe that MANY of us who are able to work, feel the same way.  I'm also pretty sure that, in reality, it isn't true to a large extent!  I suppose it depends on how you define the word "great" in this context.

Personally, I think that, if someone is prepared to give you money for "doing your thing," then empirically, you are "great enough" to feel worthy and valued in your role.

As a "type" we are known to often be hyper critical of our own abilities and achievements.  "Self-loathing" is VERY common amongst many of us.  "Self-doubt" and "utter lack of self-belief" is EVEN MORE common amongst us.

I reckon that perhaps we need to be patient with ourselves.  "Greatness" can come in a blinding flashing from nowhere-in-particular.....so keep the faith brother, whilst you keep earning.  This is infinitely preferable to all the alternatives?

Just my opinions Noon - fwiw.

I don't like the idea that I'm belittling abilities, on the contrary... There's nothing to lose in this world if you encourage yourself... and believe in your abilities and keep fighting... But it's hard to accept yourself in a place that's not your place... as if you were a square trying to live in circles.
