To pretend to be something that one is notLet's say you have a favorite color, like blue, but your friend really likes red. If you tell your friend that you like red too, even though you don't really, that's being fake. It's like pretending to be something you're not. Being fake means not being honest about what you really think or feel. It's important to be honest with yourself and others, but sometimes we might say things we don't really mean to be polite or avoid hurting someone's feelings, to be kind to others.

Fake

Example: Introvert problemFake or rude in people's eyes. It's a choice to appear fake, or else you appear rude and unfriendly to people, so choose it!<ul><li>Doing what you don't like or don't want to do = fake</li><li>Doing what you like or want to do = rude, unfriendly</li></ul>Either way, people have a negative view of us. No matter what we do, anyway!But sometimes you have to fake it! or else you aren't stepping out of your comfort zone.

Is it really called fake?

Or is it considered fake if people are just different from us? They may not understand us, and they may even call us fake.

Fake or just don't understand? or it different from you

If something is different or hard to understand for us, we may call it fake.

So instead of thinking negatively and calling it fake, change your perspective, see differently, and view it more positively. Then you can call it a balanced way or stepping out of your comfort zone and self-growth.It just depends on how you see it, either negative or positive.

Think again! More positive & See different

Fake it to maintain our balance and push ourselves out of our comfort zone, or else be real, be rude and unkind, and just stay in our comfort zone

Understand yourself and those around you.

First, we need to understand what sabotage is.
Sabotage means to destroy something on purpose.
Self means oneself, so self-sabotage means to destroy something related to oneself.
It can happen subconsciously or consciously.
Sometimes, we plan to do something and then don’t complete it. We make to-do lists and don’t accomplish anything due to insecurities or self-limiting beliefs.

How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be

Attitude matters the most. If you have the courage, perseverance and grit and slightly higher than average intelligence, you are way more likely to achieve your goal, than if you have high intelligence, but none of the other things. In the latter - you are just a lazy, high intelligent person. But success comes to the people who are willing to go the extra mile and do not easily give up.

Attitude is more than intelligence

Most of the successful people have this internal and insatiable curiosity. Curiosity allows you to develop a fresh perspective on the things around you. The more information you have, the higher the chance of making unique connections that nobody really sees except you. Think of an AI - the more information it has, the higher the chance of it being good. The other key aspect is processing the information the right way, but more on that later!You prefer deepstash over mindlessly scrolling on facebook/tiktok/instagram - that is already saying a lot about you, so keep going!

Have a multifaceted curiosity

Sometimes we are tempted to not go 100% especially if we are already winning. But that is a mistake. Never underestimate your opponent and never give him unnecessary chances of winning. If we are to draw parallels from chess, there are many lost games that were COMPLETELY won. That's because once you think you won, you start playing less attention and that's exactly when your OPPONENT flips the game and wins. No matter how hard your winning position is, STAY AWARE. This also translates to real life.

Try as hard as possible

History is full of such examples. The smallest chances might cause the biggest wins over time. All the big companies such as Apple or Microsoft, all relied at some point on a small detail to become what they are. For Microsoft it might have been the option in the contract with IBM that allowed them to sell their product to other companies and not solely on IBM. For Apple it might have been the 1984 commercial that made them stand out so much from the other companies.The point is that you should give your best at all times, you do not know which small detail might make you a winning behemoth.

The biggest wins were accomplished by the smallest chances

Some of the essential things required to be successful. It is all in your head.

A recipe for success

It can be hard when it seems like everywhere you look someone else is advancing in life and you’re just stuck.It’s discouraging when you try your hardest but you can’t seem to catch a break while others are getting more and more ahead everyday. Life isn’t a competition but it’s hard not to wonder, why not me?

" Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.”

More often than not. That is our first mistake.We compare our lives to others. Not only does it chip away at our confidence but it builds a wall between us and others.We start to see others as competition rather than meaningful connections that can be equally beneficial on both ends.

Change Of Perspective

<ol><li>Stop comparing yourself to others. </li><li>Remove yourself from dead-end connections. </li><li>Surround yourself with influential people who will bring positivity into your life.</li><li>Think before you decide. Stop rushing into decisions.</li><li>Work on reacting out of emotion. Our emotions can lead us astray.</li><li>Emotional control is key to good decision making.</li><li>Stop waiting to act. Often we make a good decision but we doubt ourselves causing us to either procrastinate or not do it at all.</li><li>Don’t let others know your plans. Not everyone is your friend and far too often they will attempt to throw a wrench in your plans.</li></ol>

8 Ways to Empower Yourself

"Sometimes you make the right decision, sometimes you make the decision right.”

You’re not destined for failure; you just made yourself believe you are.

How to Make Better Choices in Life 

Money has the power to buy you things. But a much bigger power of money is in generating more money for you. Those who can manifest the latter, are never short of it.

We were not created to work hard all the time just to fulfill our basic needs.We were blessed with all the essential resources that are required to live contentedly and comfortably.

The demands of life and society have blindsided us to our capabilities and the resources accessible to us. We have become stuck in the routine of working, eating, sleeping, and repeating the same cycle again and again.

Society Made Life Complicated

DON'T CHASE ; ATTRACT !

Many of us spend a significant amount of time chasing money, investing all our energy into working hard and appearing successful.

Drop The Facade & Release Social Standards!

However, despite all of this effort, we still feel unhappy. We find ourselves trapped in a programmed lifestyle that forces us to constantly hustle and bustle, causing us to miss out on the important things in life.
