Don't assume that anyone has it all figured out. Don't assume that anyone knows better than you (Amanda Gutterman)



The impulse towards the imposter syndrome is a strong one for many, me included on occasions in my life.

That you are not good enough or have risen above your level is a real feeling. I like to keep Amanda Gutterman's quote in mind at such times.

Experience helps, but self-doubt and the anxiety that comes with it can still creep up on you.

Remaining calm, breathing deeply and following advice I give to others (be kind to yourself) helps me when I get those self-doubt pangs.

Some days you eat the bear, some days the bear eats you. Best to own it on the days when you get eaten.
