weird but good advice ep. 2

"fake it til you make it" is full of shit.

i know people often advise "fake it til you make it", but this method often falls through for most people because of one simple reason. the assumption, "fake it til you make it", is the same as the assumption, "i do not have my desire; thus, i must pretend that i have it".

if you already have your desire, you wouldn't have to brag or affirm out loud or even post about it. you just have it, and people already know that you have it. it's already real, and it always has been, so it just is. lots of energy isn't wasted this way, and you can literally just live your life comfortably because... you have your desire! why fake it if it exists?

this is why it's possible to have humble, rich friends or relatives who are clearly affluent but generous and down to earth. they already know and everyone already knows, so why flaunt it? same goes for model-pretty people with golden hearts. why should someone state the obvious? if the sky is blue, and you are rich, what's new? see where i am heading with this?

so live with your desire. don't talk about it, don't preach about it, and don't fish for compliments about it (we've all done it once). just be real and lax about it, and watch your desires become real in tandem. no need to forcefully detach. just be happy that you already have your desire.
