What happens when you stop believing in the possibility of forward motion? What becomes of you when you look around and begin to truly believe that those who "make it" have something in them that you don't possess? The "you" that is you begins to dissolve. Like the fairies in Peter Pan, you are killing something magical and true within yourself when you stop believing that you can achieve things.
One thing that I've learned when talking to "successful" people, and when hearing my heroes talk about their struggles on the podcasts I listen to, is that even the most fabled of superstars is a normal, anxious mess, who wears pyjamas and gets overworked, and frets and cries and loves like the rest of us. There will always be someone more talented than you.
So just get over it. Do what you do, and love every minute of it. Don't be afraid of the fear, stare it in the face, give it a nod, and continue on your way.
