Have you heard of the saying 'Fake it until you make it'? Have you ever found this applying to the way you live your life? Is it the side of you that you show to the rest of the world? I had decided a long time ago that I was definately going to fake it until I made it. The problem was I was so busy faking it, I forgot to make it!
During those years where I was consumed by ill health, numerous surgeries and the roller coaster ride of IVF, I found that the sad story of my life was sometimes too hard and depressing for the people around me to take. I didn't want to be the person who, or the reason that brought every one around me down. So I created a mask to present to the world, so nobody had to know that I really wasn't coping with my situation. I became so caught up in pretending I was okay, that I forgot to actually be okay. I have not learnt that the energy required to make sure you are doing a good job of faking it, actually takes away from the energy you could be putting into making it.
So if you choose to go down this road of faking it, don't forget that you still need to make it.

KIRSTY'S INSIGHT:
Faking it till you make it has been so overused, watered down and misunderstood that it is no surprise the 'magic' in it has gone for some people.
What this saying really means I have found and believe, is once you are in touch with your inspiration, your goals and dreams, and most importantly what is of most value to you in your world; you begin the journey of learning how to think, behave and feel as if you are that now. This sends powerful signals to your 'being' that we can do this, I am on the right track and giving up is not an option because this is who I was always meant to be.
Opportunities suddenly present themself clearly to you, you surround yourself in situations and people that support that inspired and purposeful part of you, and because you believe you can, so do others. You are also more equipped mentally, physically and emotionally to deal with set backs because you are in touch with where it is you want to go and who you want to be and how you are going to make a difference in your world.
It was never really about faking it, it was never about showing the world you can or are, it was definately never about being what you thought others expected or needed you to be; it was always about acting as if you already were where you feel, know and believe you are meant to be and having the experiences along the way that support you, push you and polish you to be the master of your creations and outcomes.
Have a wonderful week of 'making it' happen.
