Here we go. I'm gonna spill the tea, as the kids say, and hand out:

My Secret To Success(tm).

The world is full of people who are better than I am, at anything you care to name. Better writers. Better husbands. Better martial artists and business people and rat owners. I will never be able to compete with them. I am painfully aware of my deficits and how far behind I am.

What can I do?

I can suck less.

I can find one small, achievable thing, and do it.

I can figure out what I'm gonna say the next time Uncle Racist spouts off and practice saying it in a mirror a few times, so that I have it on tap and ready. I can think about what my wife says, and pick out one thing that I cn change to make her life better. I can go wild and read a new book about tax deductions.

I will always have suck. Nothing for it.

But Suck Less is always achievable.
