Nothing about becoming indispensable is easy. If it's easy, it's already been done and it's no longer valuable.
helping skepticism
Skepticism doesn't help you hear.
night good-enough settling
You don't have to settle for the status quo, for being good enough, for getting by, for working all night.

way worst willing
If you're not willing to get your 'worst one ever' out of the way, how will you possibly do better than that?
successful able succeed
You succeed because you've chosen to be confident. It's not really useful to require yourself to be successful before you're able to become confident.
guts contributing
Your biggest failure is the thing you dreamed of contributing but didn't find the guts to do.
