The fact of the matter is almost nobody is the best at something. Which is totally fine! Don't discount the things you are good at. Most projects do not require the best. You deliver value without being an overconfident know-it-all.

I think it's definitely a wisdom/experience/age thing. I know now that my ability to not run at 60 miles an hour as soon as something turns or a new opportunity arrises is as much a blessing as a curse.
