I always find myself debating my "talents" and if they are of any use in an actual career.
For the longest time in my life, I was convinced I was not talented at anything. These are the fears that come from growing up as a shy home schooled boy, with little to zero self esteem.
Now I find myself being a half decent writer, a solid editor. I now not only feel comfortable analyzing things, I enjoy it. I find myself applying logic to every topic I encounter. My mind is continuing to add to my catalog of "random information." I want to be able to answer everyone's question; "Why?"
I still believe I could be an excellent psychologist, but it is a path I do not wish to take. Being paid to know the answers to question that we just simply do not know yet is very intimidating, and as much as I like to pretend that I am always ready for any situation, always prepared with the right words to say, a clever example or metaphor... Its really all bullshit isn't it?
Just believe in what you say, you might be surprised how strongly someone else will believe it too.
