Ego, pride, self-esteem - these are delicate things, fragile things, things whose absence is keenly felt. We always want to feel that we are the best at something, that we are worthwhile human beings.
Problem is, there's a lot of competition out there. Me, I hinge my self-worth on the assurance that though I will never be truly exceptional at any one thing, rare will be the person who is better than I am at all the skills I am adept in. Someone will be a better cook, but I will be the better writer. Someone will be faster than I am at the register, but they won't rock the fake plastic guitar like I do.
It's the little things that keep us afloat. The things that keep our heads up. Find yours. Be limber. Get there.
