A few things I've learned about playing music for a living.

* There will always be people that play better than you, and others who play worse.

* Some people are great technicians, some artists, and it's best to be both. So practice your technical skills and develop your artistic sense

* Use what you've got. I read an interview with Pink Floyd's David Gilmour. He said early on he realized he would never play as fast as Clapton and so many others, so he worked on playing melodically. IMO, it was a good decision, because I like his playing.

Playing music is not one skill. There are many different skills and we put them together. Work on them all, and use what you are the best at.
