Do You Pretend to Be Someone You Aren't?

Do You Pretend to Be Someone You Aren't?

Do you pretend to be someone other than who you are?  Is that a bad thing?  It depends.  The power of the mind is awesome.   As children, many of us pretended to be cowboys, cowgirls, doctors, nurses, fashion models, white rabbits and many other things.  This would transition us to another world.  As teenagers, many of us forgot to use the power of our imagination and fell into feelings of inferiority or not being enough.  As adults, we know the mind is powerful and know that what we believe is what usually comes about.  So could it be a good thing to pretend?  As long as you are anchored in reality, knowing the truth about you and your situation.  Then you can use the power of your imagination for good…for your success. 

Napoleon Hill once said, “The imagination is the workshop of the soul.”  This is where we can create who we want to be and what we want in our lives.

Pretending can be very powerful.  If you want to travel the world, why not start cutting out pictures of all the places you want to go and put them in a scrapbook.  Then write out what you will need to take with you to each of these places, who you will go with, what you will do while you are there.

You can use the art of visualization to become whomever you would like to become as well. Picture who you want to be...exactly as you want to be. This doesn’t mean you have to quit working .  In fact, you may have to work harder,  You must see in your mind who you want to be and what that person would be like and then take consistent action to make it come about.
