Feeling afraid of not doing well doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re human. It means you care about your life and your place in it.

The work isn’t to silence that fear completely - it’s to soften its grip, to remind yourself that your worth is not defined by constant achievement, and to create space for living rather than just striving.

Because in the end, “doing well” is less about ticking every box, and more about moving through life with honesty, intention, and self-compassion.

Impostor Syndrome isn’t a mental illness. It’s a pattern of self-doubt that makes people feel like frauds, even when they’re successful, competent, and qualified. They may attribute achievements to luck, timing, or others’ support, anything but their own effort and capability.

If you’ve ever felt like an impostor, chances are you’re not one. Real impostors don’t question themselves, they overestimate their competence. The very fact that you care, reflect, and worry means you’re conscious, not counterfeit.
