RE: Meme-Busting: "Fake It 'Til You Make It..."
Ha! A counter-challenge, welp. I didn't see that one coming.
I gladly accept :D
It's rude of me to make a new post without replying amazing comments first! I wanted to be a successful author on Steemit more than most things. Some days I've been incredibly lazy, but you are correct; effort and success are observed over long periods of time.
I measure my own success by how clearly, and intensely I can get my messages to come across. Two big goals when I write is to one; have the reader get the same picture I have in my head (I don't make memes though!) and two; I want my readers to imagine what I'm like—almost hearing my words as if I'm next to them!
It takes a f***-ton, to "be successful in this game". That's why I can only comment some people and have to choose my connections wisely. You and @clayboyn are my favorite Philosophy writers, and I enjoy commenting you guys, because the topics written are things I share a genuine interest in. My comments can get lengthy, as I ramble when I'm excited about something x'D I'll work on that!
Lol, I'm not gonna make friends with whales if their topics bore me, or are outside my tastes. I would rather invest my time and energy towards building lasting friendships, engrossed in topics that move me.
Heyheyhey, I gotta fake it a little longer if I want to be a superstar someday c;
Why you gotta end it all enigmatic like that! Y'know, Steemit is the only place I've seen that rewards strong virtue and I love it.
And I repeat, perhaps from a slightly different angle to attempt clarifying: but you aren’t faking it.
You ARE it.
You may be earlier on in your path than the “success” you’d like, but it’s already in you, unraveling.
Nothing to fake at all. Just keep doing what you’re doing, and you’ll arrive at your destination in due time - never because you tried to “fake it,” but because the success is who you are and it was in development all along. 😇💓
Aaahhhh! I don't see it because I'm in it. I gotta keep the path c: My goals are real, and patience is and consistency is what I have to hone. I will get there and thank you for believing in me.
I will continue to do my best~ 😃❤
Indeed, sometimes it’s difficult to see aspects of ourselves objective, whereas they’re clear to outsiders/onlookers... :-)
