Shortstop - One of the things I am conditioning myself to do lately is to look at my life and pat myself on the back a little for the things I have accomplished. I went most of my life feeling like I didn't really deserve my successes (but I certainly felt like I deserved my failures). I kind of felt like things like good grades in school, getting that good job, or excelling in the military were all a fluke of some sort - not something I had actually worked for. Like it was luck or something. I have to work at it to realize I actually did work hard and that those things happened for a reason. That's a hard pill for me to swallow, and I don't really understand why. I think that's the real definition of imposter syndrome.
