Never Liked "Fake it till you Make it"

 Keep the gifts God has blessed you with on the light side. I never liked the term" Fake it till you make".

"Fake it till you make it" is an aphorism that suggests pretending to be confident and competent until you develop those qualities, ultimately leading to success. It's about outwardly projecting self-assurance to internalize it, encouraging persistence in achieving goals. [1]

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• The Core Idea: The phrase implies that even if you don't feel confident or competent, acting as if you are can gradually lead to real confidence and competence. [2]
• How it Works: By outwardly projecting confidence and competence, you can start to believe in yourself more. This can be a powerful tool for overcoming self-doubt and taking on challenges. [2]
• Examples:
  • A student might fake confidence in a presentation to overcome nerves, eventually becoming more comfortable with public speaking. [1, 2, 3]
  • An entrepreneur might act as if they have a successful business, attracting investors even if they are still developing their product. [1]
• Potential Drawbacks: While "fake it till you make it" can be helpful, it's important to avoid outright deception or dishonesty. Over-promising without the ability to deliver can damage your credibility. [1, 3]
• Psychological Basis: The idea behind "fake it till you make it" aligns with the concept of the "power pose" which suggests that physical posture can influence your feelings of confidence and power. [4]

In essence, "fake it till you make it" is a mindset and strategy that can be used to build confidence and achieve goals by outwardly projecting confidence and competence until it becomes an internal reality. [5]

     Remembering our best leaders and their example while speaking out against violent gangs. Alternatives for our youth include the arts, sports and music programs. Crime within our Communities the statistics however our American people & youth are not simply statistics. This week WE honor, send respect to those who serve, have served and shall serve as they have determined that to be their pathway forward even as young adults. Remembering those who contributed to War domestic and abroad; uniform an civilian in the name of liberty, democracy and freedom.

Always lean towards peace, communication and education before aggressive tactics no matter the side.

   Reaching other non-profits within this fine community doing good work with the goal to unite. Not just here in the beautiful City of St. Petersburg Florida but throughout the region. Supporting our schools and recovery communities, allies within it, rather it by day by day, one good idea, or volunteer by volunteer.

 I have not decided if I am going to serve a partisan political party again, but it is time that our best leaders stand up. Advocating for additional funding of all these programs. Community Service Officers (CSOs)". Efforts to expand such were at one time where many people felt the nation was pivoting towards politically. My question is what happened to that political resolve to solve one of many vexing issues throughout America?

Peace, love, democracy and faith. A vision of unity I envision for this great country we call the United States of America. Which is one the purposes for creating this independent blog. - A.T. Yoda Brooks
