Fake it until you make it
Groucho Marx said “The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.” This is now a T shirt at http://www.humoroust-shirts.com. “Fake it until you make it” is used widely in our society from AA to business management. It has also come under the concept to “act as if you are *****. Kurt Vonnegut once said in Mother Night “we are what we pretend to be so we must be careful about what we pretend to be”
Fake it until you make it is a technique of positive thinking. I also like it in the practice of yoga.
“Fake it until you make it so you don’t break it.”
All too often we put off doing something because we are not ready to do it right. The trick sometimes is to get it going and improve, modify or adjust it later. I like to use this in my own practice in conjunction with the “no pain” rule. Pain is a red light and stops the whole process, we never go into pain.
Errors will be made, be mindful and reduce the risk.
