Doubt tells you that you are going in the right path

If you ever decided to practice something seriously for enough time, you surely have gone through a process that happens after a period of stagnation where nothing seems to move or after suffering from failure again, that of realizing that things might be harder than what you expect and having doubts, asking yourself If you're really up to the task and considering of leaving. If you think this only happens to you, you're wrong, as every person that has reached success and those who didn't recover have gone through the same mental questioning, the real difference between one and the other being just the decision taken. In this scenario you have two options: to actually quit and seek for other things to do, or to simply stick through till the end thinking of what went wrong and correcting It in order to improve, which is what the succesful choose. That's why in this article I will explain in deeper terms why this self doubt is benefitial to you and how It sets you up for correction through a series of points in order to lead you to the right path and reach your end goal. Let's begin:

Questioning Yourself lets you check your progress

If you have done your work haphazardly or lazily, your brain will take notice of that subconsciously, making you enter quickly into a rut and leaving you with a diminished sense of return everytime you try to perform, just "doing It to get It out of the way". Doing things this way will cause It to be much more frequent to have days where "motivation doesn't come" using the alternative of least resistance through repeating the same progress without challenging yourself enough to keep you sharp, which in result will make you see the harsh reality of inexperience when you have to tackle real problems with It. This is why questioning yourself is so important, as It lets you assess mistakes you might have been committing or things that you have taken for granted when walking the path to success.

Questioning yourself lets you check your decisions

Sometimes a wall in the road is so apparent, yet everyone except the driver notices It. This is precisely what might happen when you're starting, as you don't know with exact certainty what you're doing, being driven by either inexperience and emotions such as pride or blind passion, causing that when you crash you'll ask yourself If you're worthless or there are some things you can improve in your method, specially the decisions you took in the road. If you overcome this self-doubt you'll find that you'll be much more aware of how the decisions you take affect your future.

Questioning Yourself lets you know when enough is enough

There are also times where your output has had a great curve of improvement and now you have a product of outstanding quality, yet the problem is the platform/medium you use to push It to the world. For example, If you find yourself at the same work you've been in for the last two years and you haven't received any raise/promotion or increment for your effort, your ability to question yourself should be the greatest indicator that you should consider If you should seek a new route to perform your work in a way where Its quality can be seen by the right eyes and you can receive a positive feedback loops in the form of comments, thing which will renew your purpose and make you fight with twice the strength.

I hope that this article could have made you seen why questioning your skills once in a while is a healthy thing that everyone goes through as It lets you make a reality check with regards to your choices, your practices and lets you know If It is time to change for the better, leading you up to a good future and more wisdom If you listen to It.
