I'm sure we all in our life once felt like we are not enough to do the things we wanted to do. Like starting a business, making million dollars, getting in a serious relationship, or maybe anything, we all felt that it's not our thing or we are not enough capable of doing that. So I hope after reading this blog you might overcome that feeling. 


What do these feelings do to us?

It is a feeling which kills most people's dreams of achieving what they want in life. It is what holds you back from having a life that you always wanted.

Before talking about that, I wanted to ask you this first,

Is the feeling to do that thing is on purpose or because of self-interests.  If your purpose is to bring a change in someone else's life, helping them to do good in their life then, nothing can stop you down. But,

The feeling is on self then your going nowhere.

It's like the legends say 

"If you help enough people to get what they want then, eventually, you will get what you want" 


So the most common thing holding you back is the feeling of not enough, and that feeling is known as IMPOSTER SYNDROME.


What is IMPOSTER SYNDROME?


Imposter Syndrome is the feeling of self-doubt and personal incompetence that you feel despite your education, experience, and accomplishments.


Does it sound similar? Have you ever felt like this? 

I'm sure you did. It's a normal feeling we get while starting something. Even I felt this and because of this, it took me almost a year to start blogging.

In reality, it's a feeling of I'm not good enough which will eventually, crush your life and dream.

The main reason for Imposter Syndrome is Perfectionism.

We all want to be perfect in whatever we do. We are not ready to expect fault or failure.

Let me tell you a harsh truth. 

"You will never be perfect"

Cause that's what life is all about. The main aspect of life is to constantly keep on learning.

Because

"The best Healers are still healing and the best Teachers are still learning"


So no matter where you are in life, just start whatever you wanted to do without any hesitation of failing.

You have never been ready in your entire life than where you were now.

So people think as they will start after finishing some sort of degree or course, but we know a lot of people who have a big list of degrees they did, but yet, they are not happy. So it doesn't matter if you think you are not enough or not, you just have to start anyway.

Cause we always think that Lack of Knowledge is holding us back, but in reality, it's not. The lack of Action is.


The only way to overcome this feeling is by taking Action:

We all have that feeling at some point. So all we have to do is start taking action. When you take action you will get a result, and when your results are better than you thought they would be, your confidence increase and your imposter Syndrome feeling get a little bit small, the more you start taking Actions the more you will get the results which ultimately leads to increase your confidence. 

That's how you build confidence. You keep getting results after results after results and then on the day after few years you wake up and say "Holy crap! Look how good I am. I'm way better than I thought I was." And then you go like " oh! I'm pretty good at it, I should have started it long before" So,

You got your confidence from doing what you thought you couldn't, not by thinking about how incapable you are.


"There is no shortcut to get past this Imposter Syndrome. You will just have to start taking action"


Confidence is like those small Giggs of wooden pieces, you just get one work done and get the results from it and it helps you to build your confidence and keep it, then with another result a bit more confidence. You just keep on doing this.

"It's just you will never be ready better than you are now"


If you still have self-doubt then, do this small exercise. I'm confident that it will help you to overcome this Imposter Syndrome and start making a change in your life.


The exercise to overcome Imposter Syndrome:

You just have to rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10, rate yourself the way you are right now on the Knowledge you have about what you want to do. 1 means you know nothing about it, you don't know a single word about that, and 10 means you are the best at what you want to do. There is no other person better than you in this entire universe.

You can do it at anything. Just rate yourself in between 1 to 10.


Ok, let's assume you rated yourself at 5 based on the knowledge you have right now:

Now think, how many people on the earth are at 1, 2, 3, 4. Maybe like 7 billion people. 90% of the people exist on this world at 1, 2, 3, and 4 at what you wanted to do. 

So, now you know that there are 90% of the people who exist on this earth who want your help, they want your support, you can impact on their life with your skills and knowledge.


So, if you have Imposter Syndrome then, rate yourself on the scale of 1 to 10 and realize how good you are and how there are millions if not billions who need your help, who can improve their life by your support and the only thing which holding you back is non-other than your thinking that you are not enough.

So,

STOP THINKING AND START DOING.
