Faking it until you make it

“Like the masked guests of 18th century balls, we don’t always arrive with confidence; sometimes we wear it until it becomes our face.” – Muaad Sucule

Sometimes we wake up on a Monday and we aren’t motivated at all. Maybe we miss the weekend, maybe we are sick and tired of the grind and imagine a life where we were just born rich. Or maybe you’re not motivated because its November, the weather is not cool, you’re not seeing your friends as much and life is strange.

This is where the idea of ‘acting’ must come in. The truth is, you will be judged by people and even yourself on how you deal with moments in your life when you don’t have motivation. This where the ideas of mysticism, the trickster and the ego can all come together.

Acting until the you don’t have to any longer

Sometimes you have to act until the moment comes. Sometimes being alive feels like riding a powerful and happy wave and other times it feels like there is no wave at all. It all falls flat. In these moments, its good to remember that the word persona in Latin means mask.

When life feels overwhelming, its good to go into the mystical consciousness by zooming out and ‘riding the wave’ and when life feels flat, that is the perfect time to put on your persona and interact with the world and then you will find your rhythm again.

Conclusion

Find your motivation by playing the game of life when life feels flat and you don’t feel like going. Sometimes, healing also means putting on your mask and getting out there again until you are simulated.
