I have been lying to you all...

It’s true.

I didn’t want to admit it, but I have been living a facade…

A life pretending to be something I’m not.

For months I have been telling everyone online that I’m a copywriter.

But the reality?

I have only worked with free clients while practicing my writing skills.

I haven’t done any paid work. (Yet.)

So, I guess you could say that I am in fact, not a copywriter.

But that’s the thing with starting a new endeavor.

Whether it be a:

• New hobby.

• Profession.

• Business.

• Etc.

You’re going to have to go through those feelings of imposter syndrome.

However, it’s within these moments that it’s beneficial to remember that your accomplishments happen in the mind first…

And then appear in the material world.

Usain Bolt didn’t just stumble into becoming the fastest man on the planet.

Leo Messi didn’t make a wish and become the greatest footballer in the world.

And Mario didn’t wake up with a sick mustache and just magically save the princess from a scary ass turtle.

It doesn’t work like that.

In reality, they:

• Determined their goal.

• Saw what they had to do.

• & did the work.

All while shifting their mindset to a place where those dreams had already become a reality.

That’s what I’ve been doing these past few months as well…

Practicing and honing my skills as a writer so that one day I can make this a full-time living.

So sure, at this very moment, I might be an imposter.

But I won’t be for much longer.

And I’d like for you to take one main lesson from this today:

If you control your mind, you control your reality.

Visualize yourself having your desires, and then go fucking get them.

Because the imposter syndrome doesn’t last forever.

Soon enough, you won’t be an imposter at all…

You’ll be the living embodiment of whatever it is you hope to be.

And hell, you might even save a princess from a scary ass turtle along the way.

But you have to convince yourself you can do it first.

I wish you the best of luck on your journey,

Your friend from the wilderness,

Michael Mitchell
