The Law of Attraction: How to Act ‘As If’
I first heard the “act as if” about or 20 ago. I that if we “act as if” we have something we want, “act as if” something is occurring in our lives (even if it’s not), or “act as if” we know how to do something (even if we don’t) — we create the for it to manifest in our life with easy and probability.
In recent years, this concept has been popularized and even mainstreamed by books, films, and talking about the “law of attraction” (i.e. like like, things, we get what we on, etc.)
This week and I a wonderfully film Act If, which had a profound on me. is about Delaney-Smith, the women’s at University. Kathy, who from a class and didn’t have much basketball or experience, used the power of “acting as if” to become a very successful at one of the most in the world. She has also used her “act as if” to teach, train, and her players both on the off the court for the past years.
Most poignantly, used the of her and her to act as if she were and as she through a life-threatening bout of cancer. story, strength, and are and courageous.
The of this to me on a few different levels. of all, it the of sports and the power of our thoughts and together in a meaningful way, which I appreciated. Second, Kathy’s and her with her are both things we can benefit from, from, and take to (in business, parenting, teamwork, relationships, and in general). And, finally, it me how it is to be of my thoughts, my intentions, and my beliefs.
As I’ve been reflecting on it more, that understand the of “acting as if” and write, speak, and teach about how we have the power to our reality, in of my – the ones that are most to me or the ones where feel the most cynical and resigned, I “lip service” to acting as if, while things will get better, that they won’t, or allowing the to how optimistic or my and approach will be.
This has been a sobering, but realization for me this week. is a big difference something and it.
“Acting as if” is about in things that don’t and that there may not be much for. This is about living a “faith-based” life, not an “evidence-based life.” term “faith-based” gets used in a political, social, or when about initiatives or that are with the or some organized religion. However, being a faith-based person, while it can and does our religious and our practices, is even than this.
When we choose to with a faith in things not seen, not proven, and not guaranteed – we tap into the power of the possible and we supersede the and predicable.
Wayne wrote a book a number of called You’ll it Believe it. many of us, myself included, important of our with the of “I’ll it when see it” and in so we back, what’s possible, and the of our mind, imagination, and to allow and things, situations, experiences, and that are new, unpredictable, and even miraculous.
For some of us the of “acting as if” is and fundamental, for of us it may be new and/or more difficult, and for still others it seem out there and quite esoteric. Regardless of how we to this idea, we’ve all it in our in big and small ways. Delaney-Smith it in the Act If film in a powerful way through her coaching, her battle with cancer, and how she lives life.
The for us to ask is, “What acting as if will in the most areas of my life right now?”
We often get what we – which is a pretty concept if we take time to let it in and with that awareness. of to see how things turn out, that they will get better, or simply the circumstances and in our determine how we feel – what if we acted as if we had us and around us that we need to be successful, happy, and fulfilled – which we do, by the way!
