You want to be uniquely good and I think it's because we all want to feel "safe" in our tribe - as if our unique skill makes us specially valuable. Now our Tribe seems to be enormously large and it's far harder to feel special - there is fierce competition. But in reality we are all part of a system that is not a tribe but we're still trying to think of it as if it was and one can be "safe" in it and happy without having to feel too unique. You can be locally famous for things still. Live music is still better than recordings and a painting by someone you know is still better than one you bought off the internet. I suggest ignoring the vastness of talent out there because it's not the right way to draw a feeling of safety and self worth. You only have to be the best dad in the world to your own kids - the other kids in the world have their own best dad.
