Self doubt?

Ever wondered about your own capabilities, abilities, talents and skills? Well, if you haven't, then I admire you!

I know where my talents lie, but I know I don't exploit them fully. Do I do too many different things? Jack of all trades, master of none?

It was once put to me in a Women's Development session that "what women call multi-tasking,men call lack of focus". I am focused! Just on lots of things. And who can be so gender-generalist anyway? I know some pretty unfocused men and some very non-mutli-tasking women.

But I am challenging myself - if I have doubts, what are they and why? Well, I know some of the answers (and they certainly aren't going to appear on a public blog), but mostly I know it's prioritising. Doing what I do well, well, and learning to do what I don't do quite so well, better.

And the stuff I am useless at? Well, if I can't delegate or dump, then I have to challenge myself further. Self-doubt only seeks to undermine my determination to succeed, to gain what I want for myself.

But, perhaps like many others (very much so I am sure), I won't do so to the detriment of others. Is that self-doubt, self-restraint or self-control?

I'd love to know...
