You’re suffering from self-doubt while others are intimidated by your full potential.
We are our own worst critics.
If your past self could see where you are today, think of how impressed they will be.
Turn self-doubt into your greatest ally, for it reveals the untapped reservoirs of your potential.
Recognize that the harshest judgment often comes from within.
Dare your doubts.
Dare your fears!
– Pope
A Scroll of Principles
Therefore, layers upon layers must be built: from diligence to moral excellence; on the layer of moral excellence, add knowledge; on the layer of knowledge, add self-control; on the layer of self-control, add steadfastness; on the layer of steadfastness, add godliness; and on the layer of godliness, add brotherly affection. All of these things will ensure you are not useless and unproductive.
