Acting As If: The Power of Pretense
The problem is this: How are you supposed to manifest a new life if you’re told that pretending to be someone else makes you dishonest? Acting as if you’re already the person you want to become isn’t lying—it’s creation. It’s manifestation.
Let’s flip the narrative. Imagine you’re working toward becoming a confident public speaker. Society might call it “fake” if you speak with confidence before you feel it internally. But isn’t that the whole point? How else do you build confidence except by practicing it?
Think about it:
- They call it a false front.
- They label it “putting on airs.”
- But isn’t this how all great transformations begin?
