I think you are being overly unkind to yourself. It could be that the people who become great artist learn this, but it's also possible they just won the genetic lottery in terms of brain chemistry.
Beating yourself up by comparing yourself to people like that won't make you like them, but it will severely distort your self image and mental health.

I guess. But I feel like it's only such a small amount of self control I lack to get me there. Maybe it's good to beat yourself up a bit, to remind yourself to have a goal that's almost in reach.
