Imposter Syndrome

We have felt like we aren’t qualified. We have experienced the encroaching thought “I think others are thinking I am not experienced enough to do this”.

Those feelings mean we are on the precipice. We are growing. Of course, you feel energy and nerves, and anxiety around doing new things. You haven’t done them before!

We can determine if that energy is something we channel in a positive or negative way. The Imposter Syndrome phenomenon can be something we leverage or fall prey to.

The reality is, we fake our abilities all the time. How else are we to do things like fall asleep? We must put ourselves in a position (our bed) to arrive at a destination (sleep) by faking it first (closing our eyes).

Like Seth Godin shares, if you feel Imposter Syndrome you are onto something.
