That hits so close to home it’s comical. At 15 I said ”Welp, not gonna be a music prodigy, that’s okay” At 25 I was like ”Damn, not a comp sci prodigy either that sucks” Then at 30 it was ”Well crap, anything I achieve now will just be considered normal” Pressure is still there but it feels lessened. I’m not gonna be famous for achieving great things before the curve. But I can still gain notoriety for doing cool things at a normal pace. The key is to let the ego motivate but not crush you, I guess.
