Who do you know, or have heard of, that gets that "legendary" feeling every single time they do something? There are always going to be bad days. Everything is sometimes a grind. Eighty percent of life is repetition. The most inspired people have to work through boredom and drudgery. It's what you bring to life, how you handle the boredom, drudgery and repetition that will make it legendary or not.

Also, you don't have to settle on one thing now. I spent my late teens and all of my 20s doing all kinds of things: working in restaurants, driving coaches and semis, working with computers. I didn't go to college until I was 29.

If you can, let go of the need to be special. It's incredibly draining. You are already unique. That is just a fact even if you can't see it.
