Think of what you are doing as a contribution rather than a race or a talent show and then do your best. If you want to play the saxophone as good as Charlie Parker, you got to put in the same hours of practice that he. You may be "mediocre" but there are people who will want to hear you play. I will never paint like Monet nor swim as fast as Michael Phelps but trying too do so has been a rewarding experience. Eight Alcatraz swim crossings and paintings that people like and are hanging on their walls.
