Self-Sabotage and Imposter Syndrome When does it happen? How does it happen? Do you remember a time when you felt as if you weren’t enough? Why would they listen to me? I call this self-sabotage and imposter syndrome. Meaning, you deserve to be heard, you have something valuable to say, and yes, you are smart. Yet, we tend to sabotage ourselves by convincing ourselves that no one really cares about us.
The truth is we all care and we all need to hear what you have to say. We all set blueprints for ourselves to what level we believe our success should be. If things are going really well, we do something to sabotage that success because that would be outside the scope of our blueprint. The same goes with when we fall below that set blueprint; we gain happiness, win rewards, have success in our business, but just enough to get us back up to where we are comfortable. That’s the keyword, comfortable. In order for us to grow beyond the current blueprint we have set for ourselves—or in truth, what our parents modeled for us—we must evaluate where we are and set goals to where we want to go. In this journey, you must surround yourself with individuals who will support you in that journey, hold you accountable and fuel your success. Remember, you are the only you that has ever been and the only you that will ever be. Be you and be strong, because you are brilliant and the world needs all
