 Having true confidence in yourself is one of the hardest things 
 and important👆🏽 
 The biggest problem with Imposter Syndrome is that all the wrong people have it 
 Haha. I’d not thought of that 

What the world might look like if that weren’t true? 
 I don’t mind a touch of self doubt, personally I think it’s healthy. It’s the over-confidence of the truly mediocre that truly astounds me 
 So true. B-grade players running amock 

Makes me think of the obese government health officials sermonising on what is healthy…

This is the primary lesson I teach to my children each and every day. 

Aside from maybe your parents, if YOU do not have confidence in yourself, nobody will. 

YOU are the best, try your hardest. Life is beautiful! 
 Something I have to get better at!

Comparison is the thief of joy. 

Without comparing yourself to others we would have no reason to believe that's we are less than perfect.

We each brought gifts with us into this realm. Our job is to uncover & expand these gifts knowing that there are people out there waiting to receive them.

Forget about those who don't value what you create or express, they're not important. Find your passion by following your excitement & share you gifts freely. Trust that your higher self has a plan & surrender to that plan, even if pursuing it seems scary.

The unknown can be scary but ultimately that's where we discover more of who we are.

 maybe it's not about having confidence in ourselves, but in life. I struggle a lot with self confidence but when I truly face that, I usually notice there are things for me to drop that are not my responsibility. I notice that I'm trying to receive something from someone else and not really being with myself and feeling what comes. does it make any sense to you? 
 It’s complicated that’s for sure!

I guess it depends on one’s definition of confidence, and what that means in daily life
