Imposter Syndrome

Confidence is like a super-power, it fuels all you pursuits. If you have confidence + time then you are unstoppable. But if you’re lacking confidence it’s basically like kryptonite, because you probably won’t try or persist. 

Where does confidence go, what is it replaced by? It probably depends but there are only so many emotions. 

Is it fear? Are you either fearful or you’re confident? It might not be that binary, but that seems like the right direction.
 
It’s times like these, with a lack of confidence, that people stop trying, that people give up, because they don’t feel  right. It’s days like these when people tell themselves: I’m just going to take today off because I don’t feel well or I don’t like my recent work, my output. 

Then sometimes one day turns into two, which turns into a week, month and year – and then maybe you come back to it, when you could have just stuck with it all along.
