There is a collection of posts that are best at making this point. This one is part of it, and most of the others don’t exist.
I also have the (Pareto) Best in the World concept in my back pocket. I used it to reassure me that I can shine in some way. Somehow, believing that I’m The Best at whatever I’m doing is extremely gratifying and drive me to do more things. I would prefer this belief to be true, and drive is useful. So I keep trying and combining my skills in novel way.
This post helps by providing clear examples, to communicate the strategy of seeking/filling gaps and leveraging teamwork.
Expecting people beyond myself to have this motivational quirk, I have used a variant of this post’s arguments as pep talk, with some success.
