Try Pretending

…is the advice offered in a recent Note from the Universe.

Make Believe is a game for children and yet it is perhaps a lesson that we adults need to learn all over again. One of my favorite quotes from Robert Kennedy (not the current Secretary of Health who would have us make believe that not vaccinating children is a wise health care choice) but the brother of President John F. Kennedy once quoted a line from a George Bernard Shaw play that the way to bring about the things we want to see in our lives is not by looking at things as they are and asking, “Why?” But by dreaming dreams and asking, “Why not?”

What we think on, what we dwell upon, what we dream about manifests in our life or as Mike Dooley, author of Notes from the Universe says, “Thoughts become things, choose the good ones.”

There is a bit of advice given to aspiring artists, actors, and anyone who would be successful in any business. It goes, “Fake it till you make it.” Try Pretending – Only Make Believe till your new way of thinking changes things.

Your friend and fellow traveler,
