Destroy your fantasy persona.
I know I'm not alone in this, but I used to fantasize about my future a lot in my earlier life.
This habit grew a persona, an idealized version of me.
He wore suits, had everything I could desire.
A mirror for all my feelings of inadequacy.
He even had a different name, I used to think about myself as an entirely different person. This is a trait common with people I discuss self improvement around.
Creating a persona around success you have not earned yet is a terrible habit, it creates a divide between yourself that can be used to alleviate anxiety and fuel excuses.
If you're one of us who dreamed of being a different man then just stop and take more risks instead.
Be courageous and have pride in your current name, it may be plain for now but there will be a day when your handle has real value.
My name is John.
