Your purpose can survive seasons when your confidence cannot.

Confidence fluctuates with sleep, circumstance, and the last thing someone said to you. What you are for does not move on that schedule. Confusing the two makes a bad week feel like proof that you were wrong about your direction, when it is only proof that you had a bad week.

When your confidence is low, do not make direction-level decisions. Keep doing the work at whatever size you can manage and wait for the weather to change. Judge the path when you are steady, not when you are depleted.
