“I pay no attention whatever to anybody’s praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.” -Mozart
Sometimes my limitations are very clear to me. I am not the smartest guy out there, neither am I the most knowledgeable. In fact there are times when I struggle to keep up. There are also times when I know my grammar isn’t up to par, which can be problematic considering I do so much writing-wise. I do think I tune out things that don’t interest me or things I find too complicated, I am sure if I put my mind to it I can have a decent understanding of them but I’d rather not. Despite my flaws, I have been able to find this comfort zone whereby I don’t have to keep looking over my shoulders routinely wondering if my work(s) stack up. You see, life doesn’t really reward the best, the smartest or the brightest accordingly. You don’t have to be the best in your field, although being the best at what you do helps. I guess what I am trying to say is I do what I have to, not worried about how good it might sound or look to others. There will always be someone that likes it and others that won’t.
As long as I am genuine to myself, everything will work itself out.
Good words to live by. Thanks for sharing.
