All that, that's normal sh__ that we all do]]". - "[[You can't overcome the feelings that are rising up, but you can take action despite them]]." - "[[Focus on taking action, even though you doubt yourself]]". - Action is the remedy to doubt. [[Moving forwards provides freedom from fear]]. - Push through fear. The moment you find yourself frozen by fear, that's the moment you must push the hardest. - [[If life pushes you hard, you push back harder]]. - By pushing, you will realize that you're not an imposter at all, but rather the type of person who will work hard and follow through. - [[Imposter syndrome feeds on fear. It's a monster that sticks around if you let it.]] - Destroy imposter syndrome by proving to yourself that you are capable through action; proving to yourself "that you know what you're doing". - "[[Feeling nervous is normal. Letting it stop you is a choice.]]" - Imposter syndrome isn't indicative of a lack of skill. But rather, the pattern of "thinking in a way that stops you the moment you start to doubt yourself". - [[Courage is not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it]]. - [[Be humbled by doubt, but don't be stopped by it]]. Recognize the fear, and [[Do it anyway]]. - Embrace the fact that you're going to feel like an imposter. Be the kind of person that moves forward anyway. - Keep doing. Keep making. You may never recognize your abilities. Let your impact speak for you. - Acknowledge fear. [[Take action anyway]].
