"What if I am not good enough?"

I just heard this quote somewhere: What is success? It's being able to do what you want to be doing.

If you're not able to do that then of course you will need to do something else. But if you are able to do it, then you are "good enough".

Thank you. That's a great quote. Obviously it's such an unclear question, and it stems from something deeper than just the performance of my work. The whole mental health / psychological resilience is a big piece of it, but I didn't want to overshare too much in the article (it's already super long without it).

In general, that's something that I've always tried to do in my other posts too - trying to be vulnerable and share stuff to an extent, but hopefully in a way that helps/inspires people who can relate to feeling that way.
