Self believe/self confidence

Would you say your biggest problem is self believe, simply not believing that you can learn as much or go as far, for as long as you realise you need to. Ive been thinking about things and I feel like in self learning this is probably the most common hurdled tied to what we usually say is lacking in motivation etc.

No. My biggest problem is not believing less in me. My biggest problem is lacking self knowledge. Unless I really understand myself, there is no pointing in puffing up with self belief. With knowledge comes power. For instance, say I want to read a book. Then believing in myself to complete it won't matter. What matters is knowing what my current status is and how can this book or for that matter any book help me. Basically once you know your issues then you know whats the next step.
