Do you ever get that feeling where none of what you doing is right? Perhaps you feel as if you are just missing something or you are going down completely the wrong path?
Every once in a while, that feeling pops up for me.
It makes me question why I do what I do and if I am even remotely close to where I want to be.
It happens, often, I am noticing when other people judge me. They invalidate me. They tell me I am not good enough. They do not hire me. They do not hang out with me.
It makes me question myself…why am I here in the first place?
I think it is super healthy to go through these rapid cycles of confidence and “imposter.” Spending too much time in one of the trenches can be really dangerous, but fluctuating between the two I see as healthy.
Everyone likes to feel confident…but the ability to deal with people invalidating my philosophies or things core to my life — that is powerful.
It helps me build conviction over why I am doing what I am doing in the first place.
And that, I will never shy away from.
