Acting as if is good. LIVING as if is magical.
By: Jacqueline Gates – Confluence Daily is your daily news source for women in the know.
Think of the kind of things you’ll do “when the money comes in”.
Could you do one of them right now?
Last week I made a micro-loan to an entrepreneurial goddess in Africa to buy another sewing machine
and a donation toward warm meals here in my hometown,
and recently, a bit toward a teacher for classroom art supplies …
small contributions to people I believe in.
This is the kind of thing I intend doing on a MUCH bigger scale in the future.
So, if an angel-invester-patron-of-the-arts is who I want to be,
I need to find ways to begin BEing that person now.
THIS is more than ‘acting as if’ … this is LIVING-as-if.
It’s behaving NOW as if you already are the person you dream of becoming.
Notice that word … behaving. Be+having
Behavior is the verb between BE and HAVE.
What could you do today, supernova,
that reflects what you dream of doing later?
How could you BE a person who does that?
So today, go do something your Future Self with thank you for.
Because the sooner you BE + DO ..
the sooner you will have.
