ACT AS
IF
All
that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and
frustration is this: Act as if it were impossible to fail.
That is the talisman, the formula, the command of
right-about-face which turns us from failure towards
success.
~Dorothea Brande~
If
you want a quality, act as if you already had it.
~William James~
Live
as if you were living already for the second time and as if
you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to
act now!
~Viktor
E. Frankl~
Act
as if the maxim of your action were to become through your
will a general natural law.
~Immanuel
Kant~
Whenever
you do a thing, act as if all the world were watching.
~Thomas
Jefferson~
The
first law of socializing: act like a host.
~Source Unknown~
You
must act as if it is impossible to fail.
~Ashanti Proverb~
How
to you actually show confidence - even when you don't have
it. Simply adopt that posture and presence! Become that
character - if only for an hour or so in the situation where
you lack confidence. This isn't hard to do if you have a
reasonably good imagination! Further, by practicing this,
you're going to get better and better at it - and earn more
confidence at the same time.
~Dr. Dennis Neder~
Fake it
until you make it.
~Steven Tyler~
Depending
upon the type of actions which we commit when we act-as-if,
we also affect our heart rate, breathing rate, metabolism,
muscle tension, and other factors. For example, if we
act-as-if we are relaxed, our muscles tend to relax.
~James Harvey Stout~
Act
as if you were slender. Act as if you were powerful. Act as
if you were the most perfect friend in the whole world. To
do that, we need to ask the question, “What does it feel
like?” and then choose to embody that feeling. I often ask
myself “What does it feel like to be thriving?” And from
those feelings, really experiencing those feelings within
me, my experience of life has become closer and closer to
those feelings on a daily basis.
~Abraham Hicks~
