“Not long ago, it dawned upon me that impostor syndrome is a paradox:

- others believe in you
- you don't believe in yourself
- yet you believe yourself instead of them

If you doubt yourself, shouldn't you also doubt your low opinion of yourself?”
― Adam Grant, Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things

“The truth is, other people hold no real power over you unless you give it to them.”

“I now believe that impostor syndrome is a sign of hidden potential. It feels like other people are overestimating you, but it's more likely that you're underestimating yourself. They've recognized a capacity for growth that you can't see yet. When multiple people believe in you, it might be time to believe them.”

“My point is simple: Adults will have negative opinions about you and everything you do. Let Them judge. Let Them react. Let Them doubt you. Let Them question the decisions you are making. Let Them be wrong about you. Let Them roll their eyes when you start posting videos online or you want to rewrite the manuscript for the 12th time. Instead of wasting your time worrying about them, start living your life in a way that makes you proud of yourself. Let Me do what I want to do with my one wild and precious life.”
