wise words. I started just playing to my strengths a few years ago, instead of overachieving for the nebulous award of being "the best", and my life has gotten immensely more fulfilling.

my current employer isn't asking me to be the best in my field, just good at what I do, and that feels great. I get shit done, and don't feel the need to constantly reinvent the wheel. or feel the stress of failure when something is over my head.
