What if you were capable of anything you set your mind to? What if this has always been true? What if it were true now?
How would you approach that piece of work you've been avoiding differently?
How would you show up in that upcoming meeting differently?
How would you be different?
In todays episode of Legal Imposters we're talking about your Infinite Capability. That is, you being capable of anything you set your mind to.
"I am capable of anything I set my mind to" is a belief I hold deep in my core about who I am and what is possible for me. This belief not only helps me overcome challenges, it has me setting bold ambitious goals and blowing my own mind about what is possible for me.
It can do the same for you.
It hasn't always been this way. I used to have a capability ceiling - a belief (I was certain!) that somewhere just above my head was a limit to what I could do and I needed to be very careful not to hit it.
The effects of this self-limiting thinking were exhausting: a constant fear of being found out (a classic sign of imposter syndrome) and going to extreme lengths - excessively checking my work, spinning in indecision, avoiding opportunities unless I was 100% ready (all secret signs of Imposter Syndrome) to ensure I never was.
But the minute I was willing to investigate this ceiling, everything changed. I realised that I had been capable all along. Not just a little bit capable. Capable of anything I have set my mind to. That's when everything changed.
Not only did I discover more and more evidence that this was true. I started showing up to my goals, my failures and my work as if it were true. The result - the evidence of its truth gets stronger and stronger. My belief grows deeper and deeper.
The same will happen for you.
In this episode:
P.S. On 1st May I'm opening the doors to the new Be The First Membership, where lawyers of colour come together to overcome Imposter Syndrome, claim their space and lead with authenticity. If you're a black lawyer, aspiring or practising, join us. Save the date, stay tuned to the podcast and follow me on social media so you don't miss the details.
