"Si quieres una cualidad actúa como si ya la tuvieras"
— William James
Simplified Meaning:
To achieve something great, you need to start behaving like you already possess it. Imagine you want to be more confident in public speaking. Instead of waiting to feel confident, you should start acting like you are confident whenever you speak in front of others. Think about how confident people stand, talk, and make eye contact, and then do the same. This approach tricks your mind and body into believing you are already confident, which can help you actually become more confident over time. For example, if someone wants to be treated like a leader at work, they should start making decisions, helping others, and communicating clearly, just like a good leader would. This not only shows others they are capable but also helps them grow into the role they desire.
