When you have the idea that you are 'mediocre', then are it. Believing is seeing. I like the way Scarlett puts it though. Why excel at one thing (for your own ego) and have people criticize you about other things?
As I said previously you can become your own champion, in your own mind and heart.. These are all just words/labels.. I can attach a $1000 label on an item that is worth $100, but unless the observer (buyer) knows the truth, it will be 'bought'...
Mom_me, why are you putting yourself down so much? Just be you, and your own unique light will shine thru, and you will find people asking "What is different about you these days?"...

The anxious student asked the Zen master how long to enlightenment. The Zen Master answered a long time, at least 10 years. The student said, "Well I will work twice as hard." The Zen master said, "Then it will take 20 years." "No!" said the committed student, "I will work three times as hard." "Well then," said the Zen master, "it will take 30 years."
Do you need to work at being spiritual? No. You already are spiritual. Do you need to work at being human? No. That’s just who you are.
The spiritual path doesn’t require us to get anything. It’s a process of opening to new dimensions of who we already are. It’s a process of awakening to our own truth. It’s a process of allowing ourselves to be authentic.

"People ask what must they become to be loving. The answer is ‘nothing.’ It is a process of letting go of what you thought you had become and allowing your true nature to float to the surface naturally." - Stephen Levine
