Fake it and then you make it, right?
What if what we’re faking is the story we tell ourselves about our fears or the feeling of risk – so we do nothing – or that the world is against us again and again.
The narrative we tell about where we’re at is a powerful one, and constantly telling it again and again to ourselves and to others gives it more power until it’s solidified.
We don’t have to fake that reality, though. Better to fake a story of optimism and allow the repetition of doing so strengthen our minds and increase the likelihood of a better future.
It’s worth checking ourselves on what we’re actually faking.
We might be making things worse than they need to be.
Stay Positive & Fake The Good To Make The Good
