JK. Good thoughts.
Part of REALLY growing up, I think, is to embrace who you ACTUALLY are, instead of always thinking about what you're lacking.
Keep spreading the good word, Gary!
But, anyway, good point in this vid. I'm trying to focus a lot less on what I suck at.
Soooo much wasted energy on "I suck at..."
You are a fantastic example of what happens when you don't worry about that crap and instead play up your strengths.
Good reminder!

Creative people who do embarrassingly bad work often seem blind to how bad they suck. I suppose that's how they are able to put out such cringe worthy work and puff their chest.
So if you think you are awesome in your creative work and can do no wrong, you likely suck.
If you often doubt your work and think it sucks, you are either right in which case you fix it and improve, or you are wrong, in which case you rock and there's no problem.

The other point about folks working from "I suck" attitude is they associate it with money. They are two different things! Broke is a state of being, poor is an attitude. Broke can be changed, but poor thinking as in "I suck" is difficult to overcome till you find your strengths or work from a position of passion!!
Follow your passion, your dreams and fly with eagles!
Born with the IT factor.

I rarely feel ashamed to admit I don't know how to do something. That is what training, freelancers, friends and family are for. Embrace your strengths and admit your weaknesses everyone! Once I accepted that, my job got a lot easier.
Besides, life's way too short to worry about what you suck at.
I read "Now, Discover Your Strengths" and I think "Go Put Your Strengths to Work" is faaar better. Check it out one weekend in Borders or something.
1. Follow your passion
2. Create and reach out to community
3. Be good and live life!
And Of course!
4. Focus on what you're good at =)
Keep it up Gary!!
I'm a good drawer but I suck at actually drawing.
What I mean by this is I never draw anymore for one reason or another. Mostly cause of time or lack of motivation.
Next time you come to Austin I'll be sure to help you meet your goal of meeting every human on earth.
P.S. You always look mad in that first frame of every video, makes me think something is wrong, or maybe you're just tired. Get some sleep.
What's with the lisp though? Maybe it was my audio.
not trying to be smartass.
I guess I'm going off topic, but the point is, if people give you feedback, and hinting that you suck, don't take it to heart people! But yeah, good points there Gary!
I, for one, suck at blog comments...
And, who really cares what we all suck-at anyway? think about it....
Nice to meet ya. I'm a fan of your show (my boyfriend turned me onto it).
I'm following you on Twitter, and I wish you'd "follow me" too :)
I'm a professional Psychic from Los Angeles, featured in the book, "The Top 100 Psychics in America", and a fellow Dionysian. Hey, I have a question for you. On an old episode of "Bewitched", they mentioned a wine called, "Chanson de la Mer 1953". My psychic sense tells me there is no such wine, but I just wanted your professional opinion. Thanks!
Keep up the great work!
Blessings,

Thanks,

I suck @ sitting in front a computer all day.
Incidentally the Strengths Finder Assessment is the most most helpful of any I've interacted with personally. I think you can get its assessment of you via online tools if you're interested. https://www.strengthsfinder.com/
Cheers!
It's very true how much you need to stop focusing on the negatives and only deal with the positives. Pimp yourself up.
Or did you take the road of focusing just on what you know your strengths are?
From the few examples I can remember off the top of my head, most of the time people who are at the front like you would recommend focusing on your strengths and becoming the best at that. I dunno, I've always seen overcoming weaknesses, or at least reducing the amount of suckage I have with them as a good challenge because this "suck" factor is all internal.
Though if it's naturally just not in your nature, it might just be a frustrating struggle where you waste all your energy.
Good thinkings.
Unfortunately I have alot in common with the Jets, No Consistancy.
What am i good at? i'm not really sure, I think im just above average at a whole variety of things, but not great at any one thing and really bad at a couple of other things. I'm a dabbler, and that gary, is why I suck. you and your philosophies are a positive influence on my life none the less, so thank you for being you. Someday I hope to return that value.
