How To Deal With Imposter Syndrome At Work

I feel as though I have everyone completely, I've deceived everyone, and I'm receiving benefits and receiving advantages knowing that I'm not as capable or as great or as intelligent or as creative as people give me credit for being. So let me tell you my own story about it. When I was a young man, I was being trained by my master, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and a young American, I was really a boy, not yet 20. And I was surrounded by a lot of the people that Maharishi had handpicked to be around him, to be the recipients of his unfolding of the body of knowledge, which really is the body of knowledge of the Vedic worldview. And many of these people were beautifully spoken academics. And one day one of the British women who was probably 12 or more years my senior, took me aside and said to me, "Thom, there are certain words that you have used just in conversation over lunch and things that, it turns out that I can tell that you don't actually know the proper meaning of the words that you've been using. Somehow I construed it all to be shameful. And I was mortified. And I remember it very well, standing in the lecture hall. When Maharishi would enter the room, everybody would stand. And then he would walk through an aisle of standing people. I was one of them. And I must have been looking a little uncharacteristically lackluster. 'Cause as he walked past me, he said the word, "What?" With a question mark. And I said, "Oh, nothing." And he said, "No, not nothing, come." That's the way he talked. And so I followed him back to his private meeting room. And he said, "Tell me what it is." And I told him the whole story about my conversation with Helen. He said, "Are you feeling a little like maybe you got here, I've handpicked all these people to be around me, and I'm training them, and somehow maybe you sort of managed to pull the wool over my eyes, or maybe you fooled everyone who's here?" I said, "Yeah, I actually, I do feel like that." And he said, "So, arrogance. The problem is your arrogance." And I said, "Arrogance? I don't..." He goes, "Do you know the meaning of the word arrogance?" I said, "I think I know, but maybe you're going to tell me something else." He said, "Arrogance, it means you hold an opinion about yourself that no one else holds. Doesn't matter if it's higher or lower. You think everyone else has the wrong idea about you and only you have the right idea. It's arrogance." He said, "So what to do about this arrogance?" He said, "You'll take some of these papers," and he gave me about 50 sheets of paper. There were 40 people there. And he said, "Take these and a pen and go and visit each person, one-by-one, who's here. And tell them that Maharishi said, they have to candidly write about you whatever they think about you, top of the mind, whatever they think. And then when you've done all the polling," he called it polling. "When you do all the polling, bring it back here. And we'll read it. Go, go." And I have to say, with humility, that everyone wrote fabulous things about me. The only one exception was from Helen, who wrote, after saying some praiseworthy things about me, she wrote, "He thinks too little of himself." It worked for me. It'll work for you. So listen carefully to what I've just said, and start practicing that. All this, what does everyone think about me, all that business, be in the present moment. Consider what is the next right thing to be done and do that. And let go of all of this, trying to figure out what everybody thinks about you. We don't live our lives by all of these imagined opinions of other people. We don't live our lives by that. We live our lives by what's the next thing that needs to be done? Let me be the agent of evolution. What's the next best thing that needs to be done? And we do that thing. Then we'll come out of this thing. #thomknoles #vedicworldview #vedicmeditation
