“Fake it till you make it”
isn’t about pretending to be someone you’re not
Let’s clear something up!! “Fake it till you make it” isn’t about pretending to be someone you’re not, it’s about practicing who you want to become.
Yes, we all have that little voice that whispers, “What if I look fake? What if I look stupid?” But here’s the truth: worrying about what others might think is the fastest way to stay stuck. Growth isn’t about perfection, it’s about showing up, trying, and learning along the way.
Think of it as stepping into the shoes of your future self. It’s not faking; it’s becoming. You’re training your mind, building your confidence, and aligning your actions with the version of you that’s ready to own their achievements.
Confidence doesn’t show up first, it’s built through action. Every small step, every bold choice, every “I’ve got this” moment takes you closer to the person you’re meant to be.
What starts as “acting as if” eventually feels real. You’re not pretending, you’re evolving.
So let’s drop the fear of looking “fake” or “stupid” and embrace the process.
The only thing that looks silly is letting fear hold you back from the life you want
