“Every one of us is shadowed by an illusory person: a false self. This is the man I want myself to be but who cannot exist, because God does not know anything about him.” Thomas Merton

The impostor is within each of us. He or she lives in silent fear, hungers for affirmation and strives to present the perfect public image. Subtle and insidious, the impostor often lives unnoticed until the day we look in the mirror and do not recognize the reflection.
