An imposter?

A few weeks back, an email came to my inbox regarding a seminar about Imposter Syndrome.  Curious, I clicked on the email and learned a bit about this syndrome, which became a point of focus in research amongst high achieving women (though now, it has been learned these symptoms show up equally in women and men).  Essentially, Imposter Syndrome occurs in relation to an event or series of events, in which the individual doubts their skills, achievements, positive traits, accomplishments, etc. The individual often feels like a fraud.  Sound familiar?

I have accomplished a few things during my time on this big, beautiful planet.  I am proud of my work, though I sometimes fear that my achievements are far less than they should be.  My focus has always been more on human connection, rather than fortune or fame.  Helping make people’s lives better, one person at a time, is a personal credo of mine. 

In any case, this morning I feel like a bit of an imposter.  I have a BIG thing coming up in my professional life and I find myself plagued with doubts.  Am I good enough?  Am I smart enough?  Am I worthy?  Do I matter?  Do my contributions matter?  Ugh.  I just can’t seem to shake the feeling that I am an imposter in the midst of a lot of intelligence and talent. 

Sometimes, I feel like a weed, growing amongst a field of beautiful wildflowers.  Or the ugly duckling swimming amongst the swans.  You get my drift….

I will do my best to pick myself up, face this challenge head on, and prove to myself that I am good enough.

And, for those of you who share my passion for musicals… you might enjoy this uplifting tune 😊

XOXO,

PS. I’ll be back to my regularly scheduled program of submission, spankings, and all things kinky shortly. Bear with me, my naughty friends 😉
