“Smiling on the outside. Questioning on the inside. Ever felt that?” 🟡 Drop a comment if you’ve ever performed confidence while feeling unsure.
I had the outfit. The hair. The smile. I looked confident — like I had it all together.
But inside? I felt like I was pretending.
Pretending to be okay. Pretending to be strong. Pretending to be someone people expected me to be.
That morning, I stood in front of the mirror and asked myself: “What would happen if I stopped performing?”
What if I let myself be real? What if I showed up as me — not the version I thought people wanted?
That moment didn’t fix everything. But it started something. A quiet kind of courage. A decision to stop hiding.
The Mirror Test: Next time you’re in front of the mirror, ask yourself: “What part of me am I hiding today?” Then take one small step to let it be seen.
Look at yourself and say:
“I don’t have to perform to be worthy. I am enough — even when I’m quiet, even when I’m unsure., especially then.”
Then take a deep breath. And walk out the door like you belong — because you do.
