As a student who left a village the first time to the city for engineering education, I did many things to believe in myself. I felt like dressing like a boy-chief will elevate my mind to see everyone as my equal, irrespective of his or her background. So, when I put on my isi-agu, I knew that a “king” was ready for whatever comes ahead.
If you constantly doubt yourself when most people around you are believing in you, find something that makes you dismiss that harmful judgment you have about yourself. Indeed, everyone can make himself a king or herself a queen at heart, irrespective of what the society has there.
The greatest stimulant to #success is #believing that you can achieve. That is why when I read that some men are going to get chieftaincy titles, I wish them good luck, because some get deeper strengths from titles. Yes, having many chieftaincy titles boost his mind to expand his business, not an issue, because he thinks a validation has come from the coronations!

Curing impostor syndrome is a prerequisite to ascending in your career, and the path to that cure is elevating your inner spirit that “you can do it”. On my isi-agu, I was confident that being dressed like a king, even men and women around will recognize that this guy is ready to lead. That your father was a king must not cloud your senses to know that a king-at-heart is before you. I show respect but I also knew I was a king myself because as we say in the village, everyone is a reverend in his house, because you have to do the prayers yourself before eating that meal!
Find your stimulant and overcome doubts about yourself. Be a king at heart, and achieve your dreams, irrespective of your background or whatever people think you are.
If you constantly doubt yourself when most people around you are believing in you, find something that makes you dismiss that harmful judgment you have about yourself. Indeed, the greatest stimulant to #success is #believing that you can achieve. And curing impostor syndrome (feelings of self-doubt and personal incompetence that persist despite your education, experience, and accomplishments) is a prerequisite to ascend in your career, and the path to that cure is elevating your inner spirit that “you can do it”.
As an undergraduate student, I liked to wear isi-agu. When on that dress, I saw myself as a king at heart, and with that, confidence came. Discover what stimulates and boosts your confidence.
