Fake it till you believe it

"Fake it till you believe it" is something the marketing director at my former employer is known to have said on occasion. Really the idea is that no matter your frame of mind, if you 'fake' it, then ultimately you'll start to believe it and actually feel differently about the situation. And certainly that sentiment rings true now that a job search is at my doorstep. Putting yourself in the right frame of mind for a job search in this economy can feel a lot like a 'Fake it till you believe it' moment. You have to believe that you are a superstar and radiate that confidence in how you approach new opportunities (notice I said confidence, not arrogance!).

On to lighter fare... I read my Horoscope every once in a while for entertainment. Read today's offering for Tarot.com (I'm a Capricorn BTW):

It's healthy for you to reestablish yourself today, especially if the ground recently shook beneath your feet. Although you're most comfortable when you know where you are and where you are heading, you might not have that luxury now. Although you are regaining stability, you may not want the same things you once did. Give yourself time to set different goals before you try to figure out your new course.

Hopefully that means good things are on the horizon. :)
