Self Doubt and it's Affect on Artists

Self doubt is possibly one of the most painful and powerful emotions that any person can experience in their lifetime. It is only natural for every human being to question themselves, in one way or another, many times throughout their lives. Questioning your skills and beliefs can actually be a positive thing as it allows you to explore new ways to grow as a person and harness your talents in new and even exciting ways, this is especially true for people in creative fields. In fact I believe that it is quite highly likely that every artist will ask the question "Am I good enough to do this?" at least once in their careers, possibly even multiple times, and such is the question that I was forced to ask myself all last night.
