Do you believe you are connected to the source of all that is, was or will ever be? If you do, and I hope you do, what would you ever have to fake? Fake it til you make it is like telling yourself a lie at worst and at best it's not being genuine. We get programmed to believe we are substantially less than the divine spiritual beings connected to God, Source, or the Universe (or whatever you are most comfortable with) by daily experiences and messages we take for granted to be real. So faking it til we make it almost feels empowering for many people.
Think about it. The definition of "Fake" is: A thing that is not genuine; a forgery or sham. Why in the world would anyone in their right mind think being a sham was beneficial. Only someone that is disconnected from their True Self, their Divine Infinite Potential Self. Far too many people do not give weight to the power of their thoughts. Thoughts create form on many different levels and most people have no discernment to the thoughts they allow themselves to have.
Much like pinballs, a lot of people bounce off of bumpers (experiences) that might make them feel good or might make them feel bad or even depressed rather than being deliberate about the thinking they give to the experiences. Most people think life happens to them and events are random and some are "good" and some are "not so good". Well Life does happen, but the events of your life are neither good nor bad, they just are. Your thoughts about the events are the only meaning these events have. Do you understand that?
Christ got this, Victor Frankl got this, Nelson Mandela got this. Life happened around them, but they chose the meaning to assign to the events of their lives. That is powerful stuff. Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years for speaking his mind about the inequities between human beings in South Africa just because of the color of their skin. 27 years!!! Just think of all the limiting belief thinking he could have engaged in during that time as opposed to the unlimited potential based thinking he did engage in. He became friends with his captors, he actually taught them empowering concepts of thought. And then look at the good that he brought into the world after being released. Was he bitter? No, he was humble and he brought a nation together. What he did was miraculous, because a miracle is just a different thought.
What limited thinking do you hap hazzardly engage in? Just look at what keeps showing up in your life. And then, look at how you react to what keeps showing up in your life. Is it serving you in a positive way? If not, what thoughts could you have that the experience would serve you in a positive way? Every experience is an opportunity for you the teacher to help you the student to learn more about your potential. And both the teacher and student are engaged at all times, it just comes down to what you are learning. You are either learning more about who your True Self is or you are learning more that takes you further away from who your True Self is.
Every moment you choose the degree that you are deliberate about what you teach and what you learn, and its important because when you choose to learn more about you, the divine being with infinite potential, your actions then teach others. As Howard Thurman said "don't ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive, because what the world needs is more people to come alive". What he meant by coming alive is being aligned with our True Nature and Self.
Don't fake anything, be authentic, be deliberate and come alive. We need that for everyone's sake!!!
