My biggest issue with any kind of FITYMI stuff is that ultimately, whenever someone is completely full of shit, the wheels are bound to fall off.
I have a family member who is SO full of himself that it’s impossible to tell truth from total bullshit, so much so that it’s easier not to believe a word he says.
Love this post! I totally agree. I used to feel pressure to fake it until you make it, and it did feel inauthentic. I think it robs us of personal growth opportunities because of honestly assessing where we need to grow, we brainwash ourselves that our shortcomings aren't that big of a deal.
Your advice to set realistic goals and grow slowly is so good! Because that's another problem with fake it till you make it - achieving small goals doesn't feel good enough, so you set yourself up to feel constantly demoralized, which could lead to giving up.
Thank you, Suzanne.
