Act As If
Most people go through life trying to have others think of them in a certain way. Their daily goal literally consists of making sure everyone has a certain impression of them. But the real you is one who stares back at you in the mirror. That’s you – and there’s no amount of acting that will ever change that.
Ironically, the way you see yourself is the exact way in which you’ll think how others feel about you. And the only way to ever change how you think others view you is to actually change the way in which you see yourself. Doing this can make all the difference in the world.
Remember, as long as you really think of yourself as a grasshopper, you will walk around thinking others view you the same way. Whether you think of yourself as insecure, unattractive, unambitious, or any other negative belief – you will live with the reality that others view you in the exact same way.
The only way ever to change how you think others perceive you is to first change the way you see yourself. The secret isn’t to get them to change their view of you. Rather, it’s to change the way you see yourself and then the world will see you in this whole new light.
The quick and simple way to immediately change how you see yourself is done with action – not by thought or desire. Start acting in a manner consistent with who you want to become, you’ll then see yourself more and more like this person, and you’ll “notice” how all those around you seems to just naturally follow your lead.
