The MYTH of KNOWING ENOUGH SOMEDAY

 3 — “The Myth of ‘Knowing Enough’”

One of the biggest lies that fuels imposter syndrome is this fantasy that one day, you’ll finally “know enough” — and then you’ll feel confident.

Let me break it to you:

There is no finish line called enough.

People with PhDs still feel unqualified.

Experts still Google things in the bathroom before meetings.

Surgeons still review procedures they’ve done 200 times.

The people you think “know enough” don’t know everything — they’ve just accepted that not knowing everything doesn’t disqualify them.

“Enough” is a moving target. You never arrive there — you just stop worshiping it.

The belief that you need to know more before you start is really fear pretending to be responsible.

It sounds wise, but it keeps you stuck.

You don’t build certainty first — you build it as you move.

You don’t become confident because you’ve mastered all unknowns.

You become confident because you’ve proven to yourself that you can figure it out as you go.

Read that again:

 Confidence is not knowing everything — it’s trusting you can learn anything.

You don’t need to know enough to begin. You need to begin enough to know.

Waiting to “feel ready” guarantees you never will.

Momentum doesn’t show up before you start — it shows up because you did.

Drop the myth. Decide you’re allowed to grow on the move.

A GREAT LEARNING TOOL IS A SIMPLE PROCESS.  TAKE A PIECE OF PAPER.  On one half of the page write the heading.  What I know  and write what you know on that side about the subject.  on the other side Write the heading What I  Need To Know.   and write there what you feel you sill need to learn in the form of a question.   Then don't worry about it.  You unconscious mind will  automatically seek to find answers to the questions.  Repeat regularly and most importantly keep moving forward!!!!!
