Absolutely... Ok or good enough maybe but good at it altogether, nope. This feeling of discomfort has led me to seek out what it is that I am truly called to do.
I'm a parent full time. I'm not sure if it is possible to be a parent and not have moments where you feel like you aren't so good at it. If I raise my voice or get angry with my children I feel as if I am not good at parenting. However with a moment of calm and rational thinking I remember I am only human and can not be perfect.
Yup! I felt that way earlier today. Writing is what I do, and by all measures, I'm very good at it. But, earlier today, I felt very insecure and like I wasn't good at all and like I wouldn't want to publish. But I stayed with writing, finished the draft of the hub, and also stayed with the feeling and saw why I felt that way. That led me to look deeper and do better writing than I have before.
I agree, I work a normal job and write on the side. After putting minimal effort into my writing, I decided that to be effective I need to put all of my attention to every detail. It pays to work hard on your writings.
I am a computer programmer, and that can be very annoying because so many times something is not working and I have no idea why. But on the good days, I fell so good to being able to do what I'm doing so it's worth it.
I know exactly what you mean. Even though I am not a programmer, every once in a while I would design a website. Bugs always occur. It can get so frustrating, sometimes it will take me all day to fix the simplest thing.
Yes, and sometimes it takes so long to discover so many obvious errors, but generally, it's worth the effort
I can relate to diplorging's answer. I'm basically a problem solver. Some days I feel like I'm on fire, and some days I feel like I'm "stuck in the mud". I just try to make sure I have more days where "I'm on fire" .
That applies to my problem also, thanks for the comment. Some days I'm on fire. I just need to stay calm the days I'm not.
I did when i was yet learning,but, confidence took the place of doubt.Trials and error along with experience are major parts of knowing. We grow as we know ,that is what make one to know.... if they are on the mark or far from it.
I strive to improve myself everytime when I encounter something I feel it is still not good enough. Life is ever learning education for me. I always do my best in whatever I am faced with and should the result is not satisfactory, I will make more attempt to achieve it.
Other than that, I always believe what I do is the best I can ever achieve.
All I know is I keep trying and hope for the best. That is all any of us can do.
Absolutely. These are what I call my "down days" and most people will have them. Consecutive days with those feelings is not healthy. Seriously doubting yourself will also have serious consequences.
Yes all the time, but I do believe it is a motivating factor in my life to not fell as if I have perfected anything, it keep me going, give me initiative, and makes me want to accomplish much more.
Excluding parenting i don feel that I am not good at what I am doing. That includes my work and other hobbies.Being wife and maintaining other relationship I am quite satisfied with the level of my effort. Then it depends on the other people whether they are happy with me. But about that factor I am not so concerned as I care to put my maximum effort then rest will result as per their level of satisfaction.
But parenting is a different matter altogether. Sometimes I feel I am quite good at it but some times I am very confused as what should I do....should I be very strict or should I be a relaxed mom. The confusion arises as may be for the concern of bringing up my child.
Good question.
Some times i feel this way sure. Then i realize that im thinking negatively, and that its more constructive to see the positives in all that you do. I spent enough time beating myself up for things i've done it my life and it never got me anywhere. So i try to stick to the bright side of things.
I do everything with full sincerity and to the best of my ability. People around me feel that I am very good. But I know there is always scope for more improvement in all cases I suppose. Sometimes, I feel afterwards, that I could have done still better.
