If you want to change your life, read this

The dose of motivation you need today

By Hridya SharmaPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

The only illness you suffer from is self-doubt, and it will ultimately destroy your career. Imposter syndrome is the feeling of doubting one's abilities and achievements compared to others, even when evidence suggests otherwise.

I will provide you with a brief guide to help you assess the situation you have been experiencing.

Despite feeling inadequate and uncertain about your abilities, you hesitate to speak up or pursue your true passions. You fear failure and compare yourself to others, leading to a constant cycle of starting over and feeling stuck. You worry about wasting time and not finding your true calling. To overcome these doubts and limitations, take a risk and start bluffing - see where it can lead you.

Even if you don't think you're smart or capable, pretend to be confident and act like you are the most intelligent person in the room. Don't let your self-doubts hold you back, especially when evidence shows that you are capable.

Your own thoughts are the ones making you feel like a failure, not the people in your life.
