@SW-User Oh no you too? 😯

@SW-User yep in that I often question others hard to believe success

@SW-User I think there's nothing wrong with questioning success. It shows that you're a person of integrity who believes in hard work rather than luck. But it can get unhealthy when questioning your own success is merely based upon a lack of confidence and belief in yourself to achieve something.

@SW-User so true Alex.
For me, I’ve never questioned my success as I’ve worked my ass off to get where I am in this field...
And that’s a huge part; if you believe that you’ve given your all to get where you’re at, then that can be applied to being confident

@SW-User I always try to give my all and work my ass off, but I just don't think it's ever enough. When I see people work harder than me, it strikes me that I'm just lucky and don't really earn it.

@SW-User that’s not necessarily true Alex. And you may not see everything they may or actually may not give...
You need only focus on yours

@SW-User One of my worst habits is that I keep comparing myself with other people 😅 It's not something I can get rid of overnight, but I'm trying my best to overcome it.
SW-User
@SW-User all of us do that to certain degrees...
And trying your best is all you can do. But recognize for yourself that you do
