Afraid of finding out you’re not “good enough” so you don’t even try. Live in a false-reality of denial and self-delusion. Let yourself believe, you’re good enough, surround yourself around people that don’t challenge you, don’t question you, never grow, never progress, never inspire you. They will never push you, never be “better” than you, because they too will never try. Finding comfort and confidence in being better than the sub-par and mediocrity.
Find inspiration in the passion, conviction and growth in others. It’s not about being “good enough” or “better” than others, it’s about finding the path of growth and learning, facing adversity and discouragement, the overwhelming pressure of not being “good enough” and then overcoming, persevering with an indomitable spirit and then realizing you’re invincible to the words “you’re not good enough” because this judgment isn’t fatalistic, it isn’t even real. But be humble in your progression and development. It’s not about being “good enough” or “not good enough” and measuring yourself against others or an unattainable perfection. Embrace the act of doing and embodying the spirit of a mastering your craft.
