Are You Trying to Fit In? Stop Being a Mug and Start Sparkling! ??

Do you ever find yourself trying to fit in based on the situation or the people you're with??

It's not just exhausting; it's a constant battle, isn't it??

And feels awful.

One of our Scale Your Influence members shared how hard it was to watch herself on social media videos. She was like, "Who is that?"

She was trying to sound, look, and act like someone she wasn't or who she thought she should be.

Didn't work out so well.

The truth is, when you try to be everyone's cup of tea, you end up being a mug.?

You lose your unique qualities and the very essence of what makes you sparkle.

You become ordinary and common, just like a plain old mug.

But did you know this behavior is more common than you might think??

It's rooted in imposter syndrome, which affects many people, especially women. It is the feeling of doubting your abilities despite evidence of success and feeling like a fraud.?

Research shows that women are more likely to experience imposter syndrome due to various factors, such as pay disparities, workplace condescension, and unequal treatment.

The problem with constantly trying to fit in and experiencing imposter syndrome is that it leads to inauthentic outcomes.

When you're not true to yourself, you attract people and situations that don't align with your genuine values and desires. This can leave you feeling unfulfilled, disconnected, and even resentful.

But here's the truth: you were born to stand out, not blend in. Your quirks, passions, perspectives -- these are the things that make you special. You shine like a diamond in a sea of pebbles when you embrace your authentic self.

So, my challenge to you today is this:

1. Stop trying to please everyone and start celebrating what makes you different.
2. Be the champagne in a world of mugs.
3. Keep sparkling, keep shining, and keep being unapologetically YOU.

When our member did this, the transformation was powerful. What made a difference wasn't what she said in the video but how she made me feel watching the video.

It was authentic, real, and, in turn, effective.

The world needs more champagne.

Cheers to your sparkle! ??
