“Act as if everything you desire is already here…
treat yourself as if you already are what you’d like to become.”
~ Wayne Dyer, 21st Century Spiritual Teacher from The Power of Intention
I recently read an amazing passage from Wayne Dyer's book, Real Magic. The way he described acting "as if" is genius.
My rendition goes something like this: who do you want to be? What's your ideal? Are you enlightened? Are you in perfect physical shape?
Whatever it is, get that image.
Then, on a moment-to-moment basis, ACT "AS IF" you already were that person...what would the enlightened being that you are do in this moment of tension? Perhaps breathe in, breathe out, gain perspective and maintain equanimity.
Good. Then act like that enlightened person NOW.
How about that perfectly healthy person that you imagine? Good. What would (s)he do right now? What would they eat? How often would they exercise? Perfect. That's what you do now.
Act as if. Moment to moment to moment.
And, sooner than you think you won't be acting anymore.
How amazingly cool is that?
