You are right where you are supposed to be and it’s up to you to see that as good enough. If it’s not enough, you gotta get your perspective right and your head back on straight.

Stick to who you are, do not go down the ugly path of comparing and you’ll find your confidence, because no one can do what you are doing better than you! YOU are your biggest asset you see. Isn’t that comforting? Woo-hoo! And when you are being you, that grabs peoples attention. Don’t strive to fit in, strive to fit where you belong and you’ll be much happier.

Giving is the key to happiness, so don’t get so caught up on you. Get caught up on what your way of contributing might be. That’s real. That’s refreshing. That’s the ticket!

As I am made deeply uncomfortable by the taking of a human life before birth, I am also made deeply uncomfortable by the taking of a human life after birth. Obviously, it can be well argued that the world would be better off if certain people had never been born or if they had been killed in early youth by a fall from a tree. And I certainly can imagine circumstances in which I might kill another person. But I don’t believe that mere humans have the mental or moral capacity to decide rightfully, let alone infallibly, that another human should be killed. As I don’t condone the illegal killing of a human by a human, I cannot condone the legal killing of a human by a human. One killing is not rectified or atoned for by the addition of a second. An illegal killing is in no way made better by a legal killing. A society is not made saner or more morally secure by the deputation in it of legalized killers. Whereas many illegal killings are done in hot blood, legal killings are always done in cold blood and with a procedural deliberation that is horrifying. Hot-blooded killing is of course horrifying also, but to me it is more understandable. Probably we have no choice against illegal killing, which continues to happen against the wishes of nearly everybody. But it is possible, morally and rationally, to choose to withhold one’s approval from legal killing, and I so choose.
