The Power of Pretending

There was once a quote by C.S. Lewis that talked about becoming a better individual. The idea was that as one pretends to already have a trait, the more that he/she does it, the truer it becomes. In a sense, it is the power of belief. If I believe that I am improving, then I will spend more time with it. Whereas what really is happening is that the time that I spend is making me improve. Strange paradox, huh?

As you begin to understand your passion, it will take time to develop certain talents. The important thing here is to believe that you are good already! Not in an overconfident or conceited manner... but rather as an eager learner who is excited for the change.
