This is a message to anyone who might feel a lack of self-worth or feel that their personal best isn't sufficient.

Though you might feel there's nothing you can do to contribute in any way, this couldn't be further from the truth. The reality of it is we're all each unique having been born into this world with unique psychological mapping, which thereafter over the course of our lives is further expanded on/reformed on the basis of our individual experiences and general exposures, in combination with how we process these experiences and exposures, collectively contributing to the immediate form of our neural network. As such, we each possess unique mental strengths and aptitudes that can only ever be further sharpened and improved on with continued practice, otherwise there is a stunting in growth.

In other words, we each possess different forms of intelligence. For this reason it's never fair to ourselves nor to the other person for us to base our standards on their ability, or for they to base theirs on ours, as we're all each unique as individuals and develop and progress at our own unique pace as the unique person we are. But it doesn't matter how intelligent you are either, as a person with "lesser" intelligence can be vastly more knowledgeable and skillful than a person of "greater" intelligence simply through hard work and perseverance.

You might feel there isn't anything you're good at, but sometimes it takes longer for some people to find what fields of work they're psychologically geared towards. Morever, whatever your contribution, regardless of its magnitude, has the potential to generate a ripple-effect whereby it influences and affects a great many things. For a long time I felt as though I didn't fit into this community, I didn't feel I had anything significant to contribute. This all changed dramatically though around a year ago when I first began my research on the development of the mid-80s Classic Space LEGO Publishing comic book series, Jim Spaceborn. I was amazed at the things I'd uncovered regarding the series, and found research and archival work of this type was something I was fairly good at, so I continued to build on that skill and now I'm quite dead-set on researching and documenting every known instance of retro LEGO comics, storybooks, and animated cartoons in existence as thoroughly as I possibly can, and I won't stop until that dream has seen fruition.

So perhaps in time even if you're not sure now, you'll eventually find something you're proficient with and pursue that to the maximum of your potential.

I hope this has been helpful.
