You are more likely to act yourself into feeling a particular way than you are to feel yourself into action.
What this means is that when you start, you may not feel like the great success that you desire to be. You will not have the self-confidence that comes from a record of successful achievement. You will often doubt your own abilities and fear failure. You will feel that you are not good enough at least not yet.
But if you act as if, you were already the person you desire to be with the qualities and talents that you desire to have, your actions will generate the feelings that go with them.
If you want to be one of the top people in your business, dress like the top people. Groom yourself like the top people. Organize your work habits the way they do. Pick the most successful people in your field and use them as your role models. If possible, go to them and ask them for advice on how to get ahead more rapidly. And whatever advice they give you, follow it immediately. Take action.
When you start to walk, talk, and dress and behave like the top people. You soon begin to feel like the top people. You will treat other people like the top people. You will work the way the top people work. You will start to get the results that the top people get. In no time at all, you will be one of the top people yourself. It may be normal to say, fake it until you make it, but there is a lot of truth to it.
