Yes. Unfortunately however I don't have much control over what I get interested in

"we choose to go to the moon and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because we thought they were easy"

It's easier to maintain that attitude if you look at other people's output and go:

"I don't know if I'm good, but I'm definitely better than those guys."

And also, that sounds super arrogant, but then again those guys make very embarrassing mistakes all the time, so idk...

Yes but it's self-fulfilling because I'm less interested in things that I'm bad at

The opposite (I refuse to do it, or even try, if I don't find it interesting) is also true for me.

I do. If I get rabbit hole on something I can do an aweful lot.

And from a life's experience.. It's not just a belief

Yeah. It's interesting because I get a lot of pushback from people who normally tell me I can do anything, regardless of whether I actually could. As soon as it's something hard that I want to do, they start hemming and hawing and saying I shouldn't. Like wtf is that?

It is true though!

Or as I like to say, "I can do anything. Except earn a living wage." 🫠

I can make all sorts of cool shit, but I have zero ability to market myself. Though considering that making a hobby into a job is a great way to sap all the joy out of it, I'm happy to give things I make away as gifts.
