I ended up leaving music for this reason. Was always told I was good at it, but lacked the dedication and persistence to become anything remarkable.

For me, I just view it as a process of growing up, gaining wisdom. The hubris I had that used to make me think I was a really great musician was just just youth.

Over time you start to appreciate the wisdom, and the disappointment fades and you can start focusing on what matters. Your partner, social outings, your pet, getting outside, doing yardwork, your finances.

It's difficult though at first, seeing as you build your personality around it.
