‘Fake it till you make it’. This is the mantra with some in the ‘sales’ arena and those spewing their ‘new age spiritual’ advice.
What is meant in my estimation and opinion… is to appear confident even when, perhaps, you don’t feel that way, in order, that you may rise to success…
But the negative aspects to this ‘fake it till you make it’ mindset is that some people have taken it to a level of … I don’t need to know what I am doing. I don’t need to be honest. I don’t need to have skills. I will just ‘fake’ it all. I can fake it by lying to myself and others and if I am believed I will be a ‘success’. If I learn to fake it and get really good at faking it, I can be a success by ‘faking it’.
Example: People fake being happy. The adage being, if you ‘act’ happy then you will be happy and attract happy people to you. But this is certainly not always the case. People need to feel what they are feeling, whatever that feeling is… sad, happy, glad, mad… it’s all apart of being human. And faking feelings can lead to suppression and this can lead to drinking, drug use and other addictions to assist in feeling happy where happy doesn’t exist.
Also, there are very evil and corrupt people who prey on happy people. If someone ‘appears’ to have it ‘going on’ predators, sociopaths and those of evil will attract and attempt to prey on it, take from it, or take it down.
Like kind attracts like kind and also opposites attract…
So if you are genuinely happy and have a happy life be prepared to have others who are ‘faking being happy’, try to suck up to you, enter your life for their benefit and try to take from you.
Hiding behind fake feelings is not good for your emotional or physical health. And if you fake things often enough, you may soon lose the ability to know what is real and what is reality. Some even fake being in love to attain sex, money or other benefits. It’s become pretty much a fake world with some and on varying levels. Think the prostitute who fakes attraction and sexy then says what she needs to, in order to be paid.
Ever asked a friend, “How are you?” And they respond ‘fine’… when you can see that they are not fine. Some people keep up the facade, so that others won’t know the ‘truth’ of their life, what they are really feeling, or what they are really dealing with. And faking it takes allot of energy. In fact, it is exhausting to be a fake… and why so many fakers turn to drugs, alcohol, food and sex addictions, etc. to keep themselves propped up. Also, ‘faking it’ and not honoring, accepting and expressing your real feelings and emotions leads to illness…and fat, many fat people stuff their emotions with food. Trying to stuff down real feelings and emotions and it doesn’t work, it just makes them fat and miserable. And just observe the fat we have walking around these days…
You know the story of the abused housewife who kept up the happy family facade until she turned up dead. Her eyes were always sad and her smile fake… as she said all was well.
And those people who speak in that fake kind, calm voice when trying to project something they are not… to get what they are after…when you can feel their inner tension and agenda. It’s sickening. And if you are in your real self and intuition, being around people like this will actually make you feel ill.
Then the holy rollers… those who are so self-righteous… spewing their dogma… while they cheat on their wives, prey on the young, or their community for donations.
And we now have a ‘president’ who faked it to get to where he is. Obama is completely fake. I intentionally did not capitalize ‘president’ because, until Obama is out of office I have no respect for the office. Obama is a media creation and a fake. And perhaps, how a person such as this arrived to be where he is, is because the world has become so fake. If someone says it, it’s believed, whether it is true or not. The media, now-a-days is the fakest racket that there is…. they spew lies and propaganda for agenda and many in the masses believe it to be truth. The media propped up and covered up for the Obama dog and pony show… and so now, we have FAKE president!
Many reality ‘stars’ actors, politicians, media persona are ‘ fake media creations’… They fake their persona in order to become a household name. You may admire their fake facade, but if your really knew the truth… not so much.
People like this manipulate the world by being fake while they manipulate and fake out themselves along the way.
Oprah promoted a man, Eckhart Tolle… One of his quotes…
“Internal and external are ultimately one. When you no longer perceive the world as hostile, there is no more fear, and when there is no more fear, you think, speak and act differently. Love and compassion arise, and they affect the world.”
This is new age BS… when at first glance, it ‘appears’ great, wise and the way to be…
But if you aren’t living your real and true feelings and being authentic to yourself, you can’t even get close to this… and faking who you are will create chaos in yourself and your world. Example: if you no longer are able to perceive a situation as hostile when it really is hostile and you enter thinking it is loving… then you can be harmed very badly.
You can be feeling bad internally and bring good things to you and you can be feeling good internally and bring bad things to you…
Just ‘thinking’ something is a certain way, doesn’t make it so…
Our ability to perceive fear is a gift from God and only the stupid would ignore it. Denying fear and that evil doesn’t exist is what Satan wants.
So, ultimately and in its entirety, in my opinion, this quote is BS. Also in this new age BS what is occurring is that people who are trying very hard to ‘feel good’ internally all the time then when they have not so good things happen to them, they think it is their fault, in that, they must not have been thinking ‘good’ enough or being ‘good enough’ internally. And this brings about self-shame, self-remorse and self-guilt.
The deal is to feel and to be honestly who you are. Feel what you are feeling so it can pass through you… so you can be in your clear God-given intuition… instead of some dream state that all is well when it isn’t.
How about saying to yourself. God give me clarity of mind and emotions in order that I see and perceive things as they really are, not as I want them to be, but as they actually are. As when you see clearly you are able to respond appropriately.
I have met new age people who try to ‘act’ nice’, ‘polite’, ‘good’ and ‘happy’ who are anything but…
When you are real within yourself with your feelings and emotions and express them appropriately… you are able to better perceive what is real and what is fake. And this will better serve yourself and the world.
Why have people become so afraid of what they are feeling? Is it because fakes like Oprah and other new age gurus have told us that it’s not okay? When you feel unhappy, feel it… when you feel fear know what you feel. So that you can protect yourself.
I like real people. Those who feel what they feel and express it appropriately. And some people fake being real (like in my opinion Oprah) in order to further fake out the world for their use and benefit.
I think one reason we have a fake for a ‘president’ is because so few can handle real. And people like Oprah have done harm to this world by assisting in creating this facade.
There are people in this world who will smile and be nice until they get close enough to slit your throat.
We are living in a time when truth is lie and lie is truth…
