Don’t Underestimate Yourself

You’re better than you think you are

“I’m not good enough for this.”
But have you ever stopped to realise that every time you’ve felt like you weren’t enough, you’ve still moved forward? Growth doesn’t come from perfection; it comes from persistence.

“I can’t do it, it’s too hard.”
The truth is, anything worth achieving is going to feel challenging, but remember, diamonds are made under pressure. The difficulty is just proof that you’re on the right path.

“I don’t have what it takes.”
The fact that you question this means you care. Those who don’t care don’t push their limits, and that’s exactly where you’re finding your strength — right in the midst of self-doubt.

“Why does it feel like everyone else has it figured out?”
Maybe they don’t. Maybe they’re just as uncertain as you are, but they’re choosing to show up anyway. The ones who succeed aren’t the ones who never doubt, but those who don’t let doubt stop them.

“I always seem to fall short.”
But did you know every time you fall, you learn something? Success isn’t the absence of failure — it’s the ability to keep rising after each fall.
