3 Major Areas You are Bound to Fake it Till You Make it
Life isn’t a straightforward or clear route to plow. There are ebbs and flows involved. As humans, we try our best to work with life serves us, other times we are going against that current. It’s almost like saying, no one really knows how to live this life specifically. We try to balance different areas of our lives holistically, but at times, we lose grasp of them. This explains why nobody can be perfect, life is unpredictable.
As such, all we are doing is faking it. This spreads across many sectors of life but majorly:
Parenthood majorly involves a lot of faking it till you make it
We were brought into the world by our parents. These were the people that guided our existence to a large extent into adulthood. Any parent would tell you there’s no right or wrong way to raise a child, typically, there’s no manual. All we are ingrained with are phenomena of our upbringing. We are characterized mainly by what our parents believed in. As a parent, I have no idea what I’m doing. I see my child develop each day and follow the cues. I use the clues from the sum of different perspectives and experiences about how to raise a decent child and follow suit. In essence, parenthood is largely about faking it until you make it — infinitely so.
Our emotional setup and poise have a lot to do with faking it till you make it
We pose for people emotionally a lot. We do this by avoiding the act of vulnerability or openness. These emotional traits, we believe, set us up in a negative light. So what do we do? We avoid them altogether. We refuse to cry, refuse to share our pain and joy with anyone. We recluse as a result. Other times we exhibit emotional gravitas we believe will command respect and thus boost our image. Whereas it’s all faking it till we make it. What we tend to see as the “make” here lies in our goals.
Life generally entails a lot of make-believe
The more confidence we exude, the more confident we are. Likewise, if we act like what we want, we are already playing that role before we get them. Be it in our studies, our relationship with a different set of people, or even in our spiritual life where faith is paramount in our achievements. Life generally entails a lot of this make-belief, faking it to make it. There are no set rules or manuals on how to live, we do what we perceive is the best or right.
