Mark Manson's concept in expanded form: your internal sense of self is a delayed mirror of who you've actually become, the same way an ex-fat person still sees the fat person in the glass. Williamson uses himself as the case study, only now feeling like the guy who charted #8 on Spotify, even though the chart happened last year. The size of your self-doubt is roughly proportional to how long it takes reality to catch up.
