Stop comparing yourself with others. That drags you down, since we usually look at those doing better than us. Be kind to yourself. Look at others who are worse

Stop comparing yourself with others. That drags you down, since we usually look at those doing better than us. Be kind to yourself. Look at others who are worse off and be grateful for what you have. Do your projects for you, for your learning and enjoyment, have fun.
Full time work is exhausting and leaves little energy for energyintensive work that requires a lot of concentration.
I'd say that my situation is similar. I am interested in sooo many things and the resulting knowledge is wide, who cares if it is shallow, do we have to judge everything?
What is broad knowledge useful for? I am preparing to found a startup with a guy i know from school. My broad knowledge helps here immensly, i know what to do and i will learn the specifics when it is time to.
We often hear the phrase "Follow your passion". Passion is like a flame. If you want to find your niche, i think the question "What problems do i want to solve which i am willing to work for?" (pretty sure i encountered it on HN) might yield more long-term satisfying answers. Just ask yourself the question and let it open. Stop yourself from trying to find an answer with your (active thinking) mind, let your subconcious work. Maybe make a reminder or post-it or whatever works for you to ask it regularly. Just ask and wait.
Good luck.
