Are you limiting yourself from achieving your potential? Open the world like an oyster!

You're successful but you have self doubts? You have feelings sometimes that you don't belong in the inner circle? When not included in conversations you feel inferior? You may be suffering from Imposter Syndrome!  I have guidance for you -- YOU ARE NOT AN IMPOSTER!!  I see this behavior most often in the technical professions -- technology, engineering, etc., but it really knows no boundaries.  You are analytical and precise -- a voice of reason and knowledge.  You feel you may have command of your skills and trade but you have so much more to learn to be a true expert.  Yes, that's true, and so energizing -- to be in a field that is always evolving and stretching us to stay current and relevant and competent!  Still, I have advice for you -- stop falling prey to this behavior
!  You have earned the right to be considered a master of your trade!  The famous physicist Neils Bohr said,  "An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field."  Bask in the sunshine of someone who has worked hard, achieved much, and is "known" as an authority in your field. Connect with your inner genius!   Embrace it!  Devour it!  The world is your oyster, waiting to be opened.
