At some point in becoming that professional something you want to be, you start believing that you are it.
A wise person once said there is a difference in believing in the path and walking the path. Honestly, I think that’s from a cartoon – like Kung Fu Panda.
I don’t know if you ever feel like you’re 100% that person or that new profession. The important thing about transitioning/transforming is what you tell yourself.
I tell myself that I belong. I look for the smallest evidence in my actions or results to validate that idea. It doesn’t take much.
But telling myself that I belong is my newest forming habit.
