Sometimes to achieve what we are aiming for we must fake it to make it. Is there a fine line between honesty and ruthless ambition though? I believe it is up to the individual to decide. I do not condone dishonesty when it comes to achieving your dreams; however, at times some people need to “play the part” before they receive “the part”; we have seen this occur with many people too (e.g. celebrities, politicians, businessmen/women, etc.). I wonder how many successful people today would not be where they are if they did not “play the part” and get outside of (deny) their current circumstances that contradicted what they were trying to achieve and experience.
Be the person that you intend to be.
