Lisa Haisha Quotes That Will Inspire You to Live Your Best Life

12. If you have a dominant Overthinker Imposter in your driver’s seat, you rarely get out of your comfort zone, where meaningful personal growth happens, because you’re too busy manufacturing questions in your head.

14. It was only through countless experiences traveling the world, and later through my studies in spiritual psychology, that I was able to see in myself the very archetypes that I now see so clearly in others.

19. Open up to your own sadness. It’s only in allowing yourself to really acknowledge and feel emotions that you’re able to let them go. This might sound simple, and it is, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Giving yourself permission to really grieve is difficult in our fast-paced world, where you’re supposed to move on as quickly as possible. But our inner worlds don’t operate according to the clock.

20. Our Imposters might manifest themselves in our personalities in different ways, but they all come from the same place. They’re all rooted in our childhoods. No one gets out of childhood unscathed, even those of you who may have had a seemingly perfect childhood
