Julie Dokken @ art School feeling like an imposter
Imposter Syndrome is something I know all to well. It's hard to say, but it may be the one issue that kept me bound and complacent for most of my life. It's an awful feeling to be in a room of your peers, and be overcome with the feeling that you shouldn't be there and everyone knows it. The pressure to run out of the room and never return is for real! But you know what else is for real? ~ The desire to live! ~ The desire to be used in a unique and special way by the Lord. ~ The desire to make a difference in this life. ~ The desire to not let fear control your story.
After observing a room full of people one day I realized that no one was paying attention to me at all. Everyone was way more concerned with themselves and how they were appearing, to judge or notice me. I became free that day. The belief that I was virtually invisible to others opened the door for me to exist and grow and learn, and by the time anyone knew I was there I had developed some confidence and was ready to step out. It truly happened just like that and I still use this method to this day to overcome Imposter Syndrome.
