Have you ever thought about what an extraordinary burden your pretenses create? What do those pretenses accomplish for you? Even if you are highly successful at maintaining them, the most they can bring are the resentments of others.
The pretenses you strive to create and support are, by any reasonable measure, simply not worth having. And fortunately, they're very easy to discard.
What happens when you choose to let go of your pretenses? You experience a wonderful, refreshing and positively exhilarating sense of freedom.
The power and fulfillment you seek through your pretenses can be yours the moment you drop those useless pretenses. The way to be most impressive and effective is to most authentically be the person you are.
Pretense and true confidence cannot both exist in the same space.
