of articles on giftedness and the Impostor Syndrome as well
as quotes from famous people who feel like
impostors.
Aim
for success, not perfection. Never give up
your
right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to
learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember
that fear always lurks behind perfectionism. Confronting
your fears and allowing yourself the right to be human can,
paradoxically, make you a far happier and more productive
person. ~ David
M. Burns
When
I care to be powerful —
to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it
becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.
~ Audré Lorde
