Fake It! Who wants to be fake? No one I know has that trait on their list of goals. We all want to own the real thing, want to be the real thing, and strive to know the real thing. Our theme this month is Fake It Until You Make It. There is a big difference between being fake and Faking It Until You Make It. The latter can be a display of your maturity level: Realizing we need to act a certain way even when we feel something different. We use our maturity to keep us from running from an uncomfortable situation, yelling at a co-worker when we feel thwarted, keeping quiet instead of confronting someone when you feel hurt, or digging a hole and crawling into it when we say something embarrassing. We can also don a bravery coat to face up to situations that make us cower inside. It doesn’t mean you are fake. It means you are strong and are striving to be something besides what you feel at the moment. So, Fake It and grow yourself into a better woman!
