Self-Doubt is healthy. The problem arises only when it paralyzes. One of the paradoxical ways out of this paralysis to realize our utter, incomprehensible lack of importance. I think it helps to do this for two reasons.
1) The quick emotional reaction to self-doubt is often, whether internal or the result of a conversation with friend(s), assurance. Assurances that we're already where we should be might take away the motivating factor that some self-doubt can provide.
2)If we're not important, then doing something perfectly--that is, trying, failing, learning, and trying again, isn't put on a pedestal (given an audience), and we might actually create something--be involved in some project--without first thinking about how it will be received, or whether we're doing it right.
