imposter syndrome? Nice term but doesn't justify us doubting and second guessing what we do, who we are.

[Music] Your morning ray, your sunshine, the Anand Sethkama. Why are we doubt ourselves? We may have written scripts that have been produced for two decades. Yet we keep wondering if we actually have any writing talent at all. We may have been in a happy relationship for ages. But yet we question if we are a good spouse or partner. Everyone around us has no doubt that we will ace our pitch. But we are sure we will muck it up. Yeah, there's a name for it, impostor syndrome. But that doesn't mean what we're going through is justified. Ethan our mind totally is. The trouble is we still think of ourselves as a small goofy kid who messed up and was dragged to the principal's room. The one who would get out first ball when playing cricket with older kids. The one who mopped up a single line at the class plan. Shake it off. That was another life. Maybe the years of successfully doing what we've been doing aren't evidence enough. So let's address it from a different angle. Life has decided that we are meant to do this. Which means we belong here. Let's trust the universe and give it our best. No need to question our doubt. Instead, use our lack of conviction to spur us, to keep showing up, keep giving it all we've got. In this case, commitment, discipline, sustained efforts and an eagerness to learn and grow are quite enough. We will shine. Sun shine in your day. (dramatic music) [MUSIC PLAYING]
