Overcoming self-doubt and achieving personal growth
I've always longed for growth and had the idea of being at the very top almost all my life, just like everyone else, but is it possible there is someone who doesn't want the best for themselves? I doubt it, but I do, and I've always aspired to it, although if I were to quantify my efforts towards actualizing that, then I'd probably score myself less than 50%. Why is that?

Well, the truth is that even though I wanted to attain greatness in all I do, I still don't believe I've done enough to attain what I longed for. It isn't like I'm doing too badly presently, but what I longed for is far beyond where I am, and if I were to ever get there, I don't think it'll be at the pace I'm presenting.
Below I have listed some of the reasons why I came to this conclusion, which I hope should serve as a charge and blueprint to help me improve and do better in my journey towards attaining greatness.
- DOUBT One of them is that I don't believe enough in myself and the possibility of my attaining such height. Yes, I know that's ridiculous; the greatest limitation to a man is himself, and when I can't believe in myself, then it's obvious I can't become what I want. There is a common saying that you can only become what you can see and believe you can truly achieve; that's the first step to achieving anything, so I'll need to work on my mind first.
- NOT PUTTING ENOUGH EFFORT: There are always those who have gone before us or walked the same path before us, and following their footsteps is one way to attain the same height. When I compare my efforts to what I've read or learned about these guys, it's like I've not done anything or given enough effort like they have. There is this common saying that if you want to do what no man has done before, then you should be willing to do what no man has done before, so in a nutshell, do the undoable to achieve the unachievable.
The above-listed story could be mine and could also be yours. I only tried to personalize it to draw your attention, but are you also in that shoe? If yes, then you need to start doing things differently; believe in yourself; if you don't, then no one else will believe you. Also, put in more effort and make more finds, and hopefully you'll attain your dream.
Thanks for your time, have a wonderful day ahead.
Well we all are human and that a certain point in our life we tend to have this feeling that we are not doing enough,even when we know ourselves that we are striving hard,yes we still doubt ourselves.
It could be not putting enough effort as you have said sir but what if it not yielding,what if we are actually trying but it not yet our time.
As much as we are doubting ourselves, let always remember that there are many people who are praying to be like us as we are praying to be greater than those ahead of us.
I hope we our achieve our dreams and live it.
Yea you are on point, doubt is bond to play out one way or another, but we should try to subdued it and live above it with the believe that we'll achieve what we want.
I wish you all the best with all your plans and endeavours.

Doubting yourself and your capabilities only keeps you in one spot for life. I know most people who only talk about the things they want to achieve yet they do not want to put in enough effort and just want a to be successful.
