Shit is hard, doubt is an inevitable part of the journey.

This is a repost of a viral post that resonated with designers on linkedin, that saw even Chris Do chime in.
Doubting your skills is part of the journey of gaining wisdom, as you realise how fucking hard something really is. The Dunning Kruger Effect demonstrates the correlation between confidence & wisdom and how people with low abilities overestimate their ability.
Losing confidence doesn’t mean your skills are shit, it’s just a stage of growth when you’re self-aware. Focus on learning & trust in the journey ahead, instead of worrying about how you stack up to others.
So go easy on yourself champ, your confidence will grow.\
