People call it Imposter Syndrome or maybe being cast for the wrong place, position, role or life. However, it is a doubt about yourself or low confidence.
When we are young, in my case a long while ago, we started our journey being introduced to an alien world. We did not understand how it worked, we did not understand time, we did not understand the language, and we did not understand ourselves. That did not stop us from becoming ‘HUMAN.’ That is because our minds were always programmed to adapt and respond to our on-going environment. WE ARE A SUPER COMPUTER unlike any ever created.
Yet, somewhere in our lives, we learn that being caught off guard is wrong, silly, embarrassing leading to a type of anxiety that focuses on what people think. This is the cause of Imposter Syndrome.
Can you break this cycle? The answer is yes! First, your have to commit to the change. Second, you must remove any doubt about your view/position. Third, you need to prioritize feedback from those who have helped you grow not the detracters.
Seems straightforward? The truth is, I know it takes work and time to build this world view. It also takes an eagerness to educate or reach out for feedback. It takes mentors and resources to provide constructive feedback. It takes taking notes to monitor your progress. It takes making mistakes and learning how to navigate the path already taken.
The morale is to have a support system, explore your possibilities, and explore things you never thought you could do. You will learn You can be anything. #123Flourish
