Fake it until you make it because it can work! Forward, upward and onward and you’ll make it to a destination that you want to have. All over the world, millions of people are doing those 3 steps on a jet passenger plane from where they started to where they want to be. One big advantage you have is ‘it’s free’. You are the plane! You manage the controls, or leave it to fate and the unresolved negative issues you ignore and cause sometimes poor choices. God is this and that, but being conscious is certainly a favorable way of supporting Mr. & Mrs. God! Fake it ‘til you make it!
One of the great secrets of life can change your life however, choose carefully what you decide to fake, take smiles for example. A smile is worth a thousand words just as a picture is worth a thousand words. Think about that time when walking down the street and an unexpected smile comes from a stranger passing by! Didn’t it create a feeling of warmth and happiness. Often people can’t find reasons to smile, but there are!
Wherever you go reach in and bring up that smile and watch the response compared to what it was before. Smiles are a form of giving particularly to those that need the touch of love to make their day brighter. Giving requires very little energy, just the choice to give that unexpected gesture of a smile. What one receives back doesn’t matter, the receiver may be caught off guard and will feel the smile only after you pass.
Faking a smile can become internalized. Making a smile grows within ‘til it can’t be stopped. A smile can lead to a feeling of laughter and happiness at the most unexpected moments where ‘seriousness’ once reigned. Smile at yourself and soon the heart will begin to open more with a sense of love for life even with its many challenges. Look for reasons to smile everywhere. Giving begins with a smile both to everyone, especially to yourself.
