“Act the way you want to be and soon you'll be the way you act.”

Les Brown

Simplified Meaning:

If you start behaving in the way you want to be seen, you will eventually become that person. For example, if you want to be more confident, begin acting confidently even if you don’t feel it at first. Over time, this behavior will become natural, and you will actually start feeling more confident. It works like a self-fulfilling prophecy — where your actions and mindset shape your reality. By consistently acting in a certain way, you train yourself and influence how others see you. This can change your habits and personality to align with your goals. So, if you want to be happy, kind, or successful, act that way every day, and you will gradually become that person.
