There’s a lot of misunderstanding out there about imposter syndrome, and it is often being used as an excuse NOT to go after your goals or apply for that job or even just starting a new hobby (…)”

“(…) Or in short: being authentic, aka true to yourself, is not only incredibly powerful but also fulfilling. And when giving it more thought, of course, it is! Imagine a world where you can simply be who you are, with no hiding, no masks, no external expectations to adhere to, doing what you love, and loving what you do and who you are. Like, duh! (…)”
