What do I do if I am average at everything? I get jealous of everyone around me.

Everyone seems to be good at something, studies, sports, music, etc. Even if they are not the best, they are at least very good.
I am the dead centre, just passing in everything I attempt. I improve very slowly and I cannot create anything new. I merely copy and I am getting “just pass” even in that.
What am I supposed to live for?
It is not that I don’t want a goal but it is more like I cannot find a goal.

I don’t want to go through life, I want to achieve something.
I am lost…..
Please help….
Here are what netizens think:
- Honestly, what’s wrong with being average at everything you do? I often feel the same way about myself, so you’re certainly not alone, and the pressures of society to be “great” at something can be really stressful. But over time I’ve just come to accept that’s who I am and be happy at it. Living an average life is not bad at all too. And hey, being average at everything is pretty cool too, compared to someone else who’s excellent at something and hopelessly clueless about everything else. And who told you they’re happy with themselves?
- The first thing u shld do is to focus on yourself and not others, or comparing. During studies, everything is graded, bell curve etc. but in life, it is not like that. There is more to life than being good in something. Everyone would love to have a star athlete, a winner. But what is more important is person, relationship, love, family.
- If you keep comparing yourself with others, you are never going to be contented. There is always someone who drives a better car, is better looking, has more money, is better built, looks better, etc. Even if a person is ‘the best’ at something, he/she will soon find out that there is always someone better in the subject of comparison. Focus on the good things and blessings you already have, you will notice that you may already have many good things/qualities.
- Dun benchmark yourself with the next person. give urself time cos it can take quite a while to discover ur purpose in life
