And when youu2019ve identified Your Thing, snatch it up and focus your heart and your efforts there.

Let other people be the best at their things, and you diligently continue on working at your things.

But donu2019t make your goal to be The Best.

Because The Best implies only a few and thatu2019s setting yourself up for failure, and itu2019s just not necessary.

Make your goal to do meaningful, rewarding work that energizes you, and to do it well.

You wonu2019t go wrong, and you wonu2019t be disappointed.

And someday when youu2019re pretty good at Your Thing, donu2019t tell new people that they are also good at it or that they should be.

Talk to them about how you used to be bad at it, but you worked and you learned and eventually you were ok, and then better, and then pretty good.
