Four Ways Self-Doubt Holds You Back And How To Finally Unlock Your Potential
Each year, a staggering 92% of people fail to achieve their goals.
These include smart, talented, and competent people who know what they want and how to get it. But, they still fail.
Why do only a few people achieve their goals while the vast majority don’t?
There are many reasons, but as it turns out, the most underrated one is people’s lack of confidence in themselves and their abilities.
Self-doubt is a psychological state in which you are unsure of yourself, causing you to doubt your identity, abilities, and potential.
We all struggle with self-doubt. I battle mine like everyone else. Data shows that up to 80% of people doubt themselves and their abilities. So, people who seem like experts in their fields don’t have it all figured out.
However, when you’re a chronic self-doubter, you’ll always feel stuck in a situation requiring you to take bold action or step outside of your comfort zone.
Self-doubt is paralyzing.
It can stop you from achieving your goals and, if not checked, can shatter your confidence and hold you back from unlocking your potential.
