daring against imposter syndrome

We tend to get held back from achieving our goals by the ultimatums we place on ourselves. 
For example, we may have a strong desire to pursue a particular career. But then we turn around and tell ourselves, "I can't do it!" Many people develop a pessimistic attitude. They believe that others have everything going for them, but they don't have the energy or the right circumstances to make those things happen for them.

A person who keeps doing what is "right" but sacrifices his desires and passions in exchange has his beliefs holding him back. Most of us give up on our dreams because of our expectations of ourselves.

You’re not alone - studies suggest 70% of people experience imposter syndrome at
