Fake it till you make it!
I am sure you've heard the term a few times "fake it till you make it". It is used to suggest that by imitating confidence, competence, and an optimistic mindset, a person can realize those qualities in their real life.
However, the theory does not suggest that you need to pretend to be someone you are not. The most important thing is that what you are faking is aligned to your values and goals. If you are pretending to be someone you are not, you’ll sabotage the path to these goals, because deep down, the attainment of them feels wrong. So, you’ll break yourself in the effort to bring about the goal, only to wake up to the realization that what you’re left with is empty and meaningless.
Instead, choose to emulate your true authentic self and the person you hope to become. In so doing, take actionable steps to be that person and practice mindfulness, the act of being aware.
If you are not being true to you, you are not making it, you are only faking’ it!
