No Cutting Corners

Monday the 28th of April 2025 and to be the best one simply has to be the best there's no cutting corners or beating around the bush now when I used to hear the phrase you know fake it till you make it I always used to think about effectively like pretending to effectively be

the finished product until you become the finished product but when I kind of like look at you know different examples of people who have faked it until they made it um the only thing that they you know that they

really pretended to be was they pretended to be ready that's really untruthfully like that's what it is they not only pretended to be ready but they pretended to kind of like you know be experts or be professionals in their given fields I wouldn't obviously like recommend that in law or medicine for obvious reasons but in anything at all like you know that you, one wants to pursue, like the whole faking it to that, you know, to you make it principle doesn't necessarily mean

a beating, you know, kind of like beating around the bush or cutting corners. It literally means kind of like, you know, model, align with, adopt, mirror, you know, the finished product and kind of like, you know, continue to mirror until you are an exact reflection of that finished

product, if that makes sense. And that's essentially it. That doesn't necessarily mean, you know, kind of like copy. It doesn't necessarily mean imitate your desired goal. It effectively means embody it. And it's very difficult to kind of like part with those words, especially kind of like, you know, during these early hours of the morning

when really and truthfully I should be asleep, you know, it's hard. Because really and truthfully, all I want to be doing right now is sleeping. But because the things that I want to be aspiring for, like, you know, I'm choosing to be in the zone of discomfort.
