It’s about what you do when no ones watching. Cliche yes but that’s the mentality I have always had. I am not a natural at anything from school to athletics to even looks I would describe myself as extremely good at being slightly above average. I used to wish to find my calling find that place where I can excel and be noticed. For years I forced myself into the thoughts of not being good enough. I know that I may not be smart enough to go to medical school or athletic enough to be a professional athlete or good looking enough to be famous. Sounds harsh but I am reality . Here’s the thing I have a mentality that most people don’t have I have so much fight in me that I will do whatever it takes to be the best version of myself. That’s all done behind closed doors. My semi above average skills with an above average mentality.

What you just described is the TRUE testament to one's character: what a person does when no one is watching. Most people don't excel at one specific thing. Even fewer excel at many things. If you are someone who is fortunate enough to be slightly above average at many things - to be that kind of well rounded - than you are already blessed with more skill than you may be aware of. And the fact that you work as hard as you seem to to fight to be something, already means you ARE something. Maybe your calling is to be the kind of person whose talents are equally distributed, and whose drive is something that inspires others to work hard towards their own personal callings. Maybe you are an example to more people than you know.
