You know, there are times when I do a pretty good job of having a growth mindset. But most of the time, I very much worry that I’m about to be found out as a fraud… that I’m out here just winging it with no clue what I’m doing.

Self-doubt is way more common than I realized. There’s so many people (that seem to really have their stuff together) who deal with imposter syndrome. People I look up to with reverent awe because they look like they’ve figured out something that I haven’t. But still, even they struggle like me just the same.

Then again there’s also those people you look at and think: “You know, a little imposter syndrome might do you some good, man.” But that’s a whole other thing altogether.

I don’t know that I’ll ever fully shake the feeling that I’m out of place among the impressive people I cross paths with. But here’s what I’ve decided for me:

I figure if I keep showing up, If I keep working and keep learning, If I try each day to bring the best version of me I can be, And do all I can to help others be the best version of themselves they want to be, Then chances are, I’ll probably be alright.

**If you’ve ever dealt with imposter syndrome, I would love to hear how you’ve dealt with it!
