Who said fake it till you make it

We know, fake it till you make it. We should call the team to visit our company and act like we are interested in their offer. Yes, we got to fake it until you make it.

Origin There is no reliable origin available of this very phrase. It is also used in the management of depression. Even if you are too depressed to care. The appeal of faking it, if only for a while, is that it offers a crutch --a way to begin.

Here's a better way to reframe the premise for a quick confidence jump start: Don't pretend to be anything or anyone -- simply take action. Do one small brave thing, and then enxt one will be easier, and soon confidence will flow. We know -- fake it till you make it sounds catchier -- but this actually works. Fake it till you feel it. The show must go on. Go ahead, try it. Next time you cry, fake smile up at the ceiling at the same time. You will look nuts, but your mood will lift.
