I find that I am good at a lot of things... in fact at most things that i try, but it turns out I am not great at anything. Every one is great at something, they have something they can do exceptionally well and be classed Qualified or Professional or Unique in their ability, but that's not so for me.

I can make music, to people who cant do this my music sounds good, but to a professional it just sounds amateurish.

I can play guitar at a level that sounds awesome to someone who has never tried to play a guitar, but crap compared to someone who really 'plays guitar'.

So far every musical instrument iv tried to play, I've been able to create a tune instantly, amazing the people around at the time, yet I can never progress from that level of armature.

I know enough about computers to astonish people who don't know there is more than Windows as an option, and enough to get employed, but not enough to move up in this career and not enough to impress a real professional.

I know enough about video editing to impress friends and make some AMV's but not enough to consider a career move in this direction, or to ever even be considered as in the running for the any of the AMV yearly awards on a certain well known AMV website...

I am quite a social person, I will go to a party and everyone their will like me and talk to me and laugh when i say something funny, yet somehow I am unable to make any actual friends beyond that party, and will never see any of these people again.

I can act well enough to make people believe almost anything, injuries that aren't real, memories that never happened, etc. yet I could never be an actor.

I can go to a club or bar and not try to hit on any women and still have extremely attractive women come up to me and hit on me, dance with me, love my confidence (my acting skills at work, I'm usually nervous as hell really) and personality and then I'll go buy them a drink (or another of their many drinks), and when i get back their gone, never to be seen again, and i go home alone again. <==I've been single for a whole year and this is all I get, over and over for a whole year...

I was a good martial artist, good enough to become a multiple national champion, but never great enough to get beyond the national level... and you don't make any money at the national level... I am pretty good with money... i can save it better than most, when people are out buying whatever new thing they're buying, I'm putting money in the bank, yet great people are able go use that money to make more money, invest it in things for more profits, turn $10,000 into $100,000 and turn that into $1,000,000 etc.

I guess that some, if not most of you think "Whats your problem? I wish I was good at lots of things, you have so many things you could chose to do, stop complaining"

Well first I hope this didnt come out sounding like a big complaint, or like me whining, because I'm not trying to do that. Secondly, i guess i would be happy if i was just good at one thing, at least then i know what to aim for in my life, what to strive to be and achieve in the future. But as things are now, i have no idea where my future is headed, or what i should be trying to achieve...

And i guess I'm good at writing blogs, I know that some of them have made people interested and stuff... but I know that there are real blogger's reading this right now, and to you this is just another badly written piece of crap that, if you've read this far, just wasted a whole heap of your time...

Well you are certainly great at expressing yourself.

I think it all comes down to making a choice. I as well was a karate champion, but at some point was forced to choose filmmaking as a pursuit. And the only way I got beyond the "good" level was by attacking it and it alone. Don't get me wrong - I had other things - but overall it has been my singular purpose for 17 years. Not because I was great at it, but because I choose to want to be great at it if you get my drift. For the Jack of all trades - It all comes down to choice.

EH don't worry about it bro. How old are you?? Sounds like you know a lot of stuff, like you've said, but it comes down to what makes you the happiest :D
