Today is Mahamata Ghandi’s birthday so I felt it appropriate to write a short article. Born 2 October 1869  – 30 January 1948), he is often remember as a  pre-eminent political and spiritual leader of India during the Indian independence movement. What makes him stand out as a political activist is perhaps his philosophy of “Change through non-violence”. He was the pioneer of Satyagraha—resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, firmly founded upon Ahimsa or total non-violence—which led India to independence and has inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Gandhi is commonly known around the world as Mahatma Gandhi (Sanskrit: mahātmā or ‘Great Soul’. He is officially honoured in India as the Father of the Nation; his birthday, 2 October, is commemorated there as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday and worldwide as the International Day of Non-Violence.

I usually research blog topics in order to offer balanced and comprehensive information and am always interested in my readers’ reactions and usage. I see the blog I wrote the other day about “Faking it till you make it” has been read by many people, so I thought I’d offer some more information and a different perspective.

I found the following definition of the phrase over the weekend: The phrase “fake it ’til you make it” expresses a simple wisdom about learning. If you don’t understand the “why,” sometimes you should “just do it,” and you’ll find it makes sense. “Motion precedes emotion” is another variant. (Charles Green)

I think the phrase can be measured against the Law of Attraction. You don’t always have to understand; just believe and allow whatever it is you want to manifest in your life.

There is a discussion to be had about the word “Fake” though because, when viewed in context of the Law of Attraction, it would be considered a negative word and therefore by thinking you’re faking something,  it will be fake.

So what do you do? Substitute the words “Fake it” with “Practice it” . So ”practice it, till you make it” would be the new phrase.

Much has been written about the Universal Laws and especially the Law of Attraction. I am still amazed how many people misunderstand the way these laws work and don’t work. The subject is nothing new, but it was once again popularised by “The Secret”. Many of the people I spoke to after they had read the Secret (or watched the DVD) were other jubilant or despondent. This was because many people went from a state of believing everything thing they wanted would be instantly given to them if they believed hard enough. While belief is a major part of the way the Law of Attraction works it is a bit misleading. One needs to be emotionally attached to that belief.� The other problem that caused a major misconception was the belief that everything would be granted instantly. Read the rest of this entry »
