Face Front! Friday!

I was gone for a few months and now I’m back.

And I am so happy to be talking with you again.

It’s been almost four months since our last Face Front! Friday!

I’ve had a lot of time to think about what to say today.

I’m going back to an old favorite, every bit as important as ever:

Don’t fake it ‘til you make it.

Don’t be fake. Don’t feel fake. Don’t convince yourself that you’re an imposter.

You’re not an imposter.

Instead:

Be it.

And you’ll see it.

Maybe not right away.

The most important person you really need to convince is yourself.

Sure, we all need outside validation to some extent. We want to be recognized for what we do.

Sometimes we want the praise, the rewards, the badges, the gold stars, for what we have become.

But the first person we have to convince is ourselves.

Once you decide that you are going to be what you want to be, that’s what you are.

That’s the only way to think about it, to do the work, make the effort to become better at it.

What are you going to be?

Be it.

And You’ll See It.

And that’s what really matters.

See you Tuesday.
