I'm working towards my freedom and success, but I feel like my inner self constantly gets in the way. I constantly feel like I'm not good enough. I often find myself thinking whatever I'm doing is pointless because I will never succeed. This drains my confidence, and ultimately, my motivation.

I know you should focus on action, but before action, should you first focus on your mindset? If so, what are some good books to read? I don't want to caught in the cycle of self-help book after self-help book without actually doing anything, but I think I need this to start. Did you start with your mindset?

Some books I've been thinking of reading are The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, Psycho-Cybernetics, and NLP books.
