Receiving recognition has always been hard for me. I feel incredibly uncomfortable. I tend to turn in on myself. I feel like an imposter. Any moment, someone's going to find out I'm a total fraud, and that I don't deserve any of what I've achieved. Sound familiar?
That feeling of imposter syndrome really never goes away but listen, whatever you think you can't do, just know that there is someone who is confidently doing it wrong right now. They have no plans at doing it better either and people are paying or praising them to do it. Please believe in your own excellence as much as they believe in their mediocrity.
Acknowledge your fear, understand it, and then get comfortable existing in a space with it. It just means you’re leveling up!
