Inspiration to Overcome Imposter Syndrome While choosing a Career

An excerpt from one of my favourite animes - My Hero Academia


Izuku Midoriya is the main protagonist, who is born without any quirks (superpower) in a society where everyone else has one. In spite of that, he aspires to become a hero and comes across a mentor who believes in him. After 10 months of rigorous training, discipline, and being consistent in his efforts, he not only accomplishes, but exceeds the level which his master had asked him to reach. Even after that, he doubts himself and following conversation takes place:


Midoriya: I feel like i'm cheating..You did all this for ME! I am too blessed!

His mentor laughs and says: It was your OWN hard work!

How often do we suffer from IMPOSTER SYNDROME! We keep speculating what we have and whether we deserve it! But believe you are complete and that you deserve all your goals projected with right intentions.
[Imposter syndrome is defined as a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite evident success. 'Imposters' suffer from chronic self-doubt and a sense of intellectual fraudulence that override any feelings of success or external proof of their competence.]
