I realized that I procrastinate because i feel that my best effort won't be enough

To me, confidence is achieved by doing something you fear, and doing it anyway. A martial arts Grandmaster isn't confident he can beat your ass because of some mood or frame of mind he's in, he's confident he can beat your ass because he's practiced his entire life and has fought many difficult opponents. The same concept can be applied to anything throughout life. If you're terrified to ask that girl out on a date, do it, and the next time you ask a girl out it won't be as nerve-wracking as it was before.

Its called fear of failure and it is a bitch defined by the need for external validation. So learn to self actualize, the fear will become nonexistent. As someone who was neglected as a kid, abused by my wife I get this is a hard one. Put your head down, be determined, get it done.

Or is it because you fear your best effort will turn out to be more than enough and your current failure is only due to your own weakness?

How do you guys cope with it and gain confidence to maintain self discipline and hope that it will pay off.

Practice makes perfect. So what if your best is not good enough at the moment. Do it enough times and your best is going to become good.

Grow some outcome independence. Really, it doesn't matter if you fail or not. Your life is just not that big a deal. So enjoy it.
