You need to realise that this nagging voice that is telling you that you are not good enough is not "you". May sound weird or esoteric, but it is possible to distance yourself from it. This voice has been built up by your environment and is just a summation of that outside world. And everyone hears it. The difference is how one reacts to it.
There's a plethora of material available about how to overcome this voice (mindfulness, meditation, self-help etc.). It's a long process, but it is possible to liberate yourself from it.
Personally, what helped me was to keep a journal. And take regular breaks to reflect on what I have written. Over time (talking years), I realised in a kind of "insight" the ever repeating thought patterns I keep writing down. Am I now free of them? No, and sometimes they still frighten me (rightly so, the feeling of not being good enough has a positive, encouraging side) but more often than not I see them as this old grumpy neighbour that you meet every morning who keeps to bore you with the always same complaints. You greet him, listen for a few minutes and then continue with your day.
