Searching for being "good enough"?

mrs.snooks

Hi all. I wondered if you had any tips of ways of helping to believe being "good enough".

I am a perfectionist and also quite competitive. Work is very important to me and I compare myself to a colleague who is super brilliant at the job we do. I am having trouble believing I am good enough, when I am not as good as her.

A friend has said that it is about being "good enough" and I believe that is what I am looking for, but it is not always possible for me to believe that about myself. 

I struggle with the problems I have with my austism a lot of the time and work is important because it gives me value in myself. I'm struggling to find value in my life today.

I kjnow that I am more than my job. But work feels like is the only thing that I am good at, so when someone is bettter than me, it really shakes my confidence.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

    I do not do comparing to others, good or worse is murky water

    I do set my own standards at work though, high enough to make it requiring effort.

    If I can keep it up than i am satisfied and I am able to feel good at the end of the day

    it's something my granpa thought me

    so I have one less reason to stress
