Comment on I'm an Impostor and That's Okay

Comments

"The trade-off is that I feel a ball of anxiety sitting somewhere in my brain — the knowledge that I have so much to learn today, which doesn’t include all the things I missed yesterday or will miss tomorrow. There’s just too much. I’m just one man."

As a fellow Impostor Syndrome sufferer, this point resonated the most with me. Once you realize you cannot do it all, I think you improve more over time than you would frantically trying to digest everything as it comes in real-time.

I love Fight Club so I'm gonna squeeze this square quote into a round discussion: "It's only after we've lost everything that we are free to do anything".
