do it anyway
a poem about imposter syndrome by lindsey beatrice
i think that everyone
who wants to be
someone great,
who changes the
world for the better,
feels like they are
not good enough
some of the time,
humbled,
because they know
the weight of what
they want to achieve
and that every action
has ripples of consequence
but they step through
fear and do it anyway
because they know
this is what they
we’re meant to do
whereas people who
always feel they are
good enough for
positions of power
are often the worst
ones to be in them —
living from ego
not soul, delusion
not confidence,
self importance
over all else
so if you’ve ever
felt called to something
deep in your bones
but you don’t feel
good enough,
trust you are —
step through fear
do it scared
do it with love
do it anyway

Time for #2
This is the second article on my review of the ideas in The Four Agreements. Here's the first article: I knew that I'd move forward with this series, but I put it off as Agreement #2 is a big stumbling block for me. I'd like to say I decided to get out of my own way and thus wrote this, but that isn't the truth. (Since Agreement #1 is to Be Impeccable with Your Word I surely need to own up to that)
