I've stolen this from John Whitehouse who is a member of Facebook group Guitar Players Group A-Z. Spot on if you ask me
 "Here is some food for thought on this whatever day of isolation it is... You don't have to be the best guitar player in the world It is okay to learn nothing more than campfire or worship songs if that's what makes you happy Your tone is probably good enough, there is not always a need to search for the Holy Grail It is you who needs to be happy with your gear, there is no need to impress other musicians. You are the one who plays it, not them The debate about speed versus feeling is futile. People will play what makes them happy, in a way that makes them happy, it is not for you to decide what makes them happy Justin Bieber sold a hundred times, if not more, the number of albums than Allan Holdsworth has. Talent does not equal popularity. Chances are you will never be as good as those 8 year old Asian kids that everyone sees on YouTube. Deal with it. The only person you have to challenge is yourself, and that is only if you want to challenge yourself. If you're not helping someone else get better when given the opportunity then shut the fuck up. Being negative doesn't make you a critic, it makes you an asshole Now please excuse me while I go back to my mediocre guitars, mediocre amps, and use my mediocre talent to fill my soul with the thing I enjoy the most."
