Faking your way through life.

Insecurity. It’s a crippling disease. It keeps citizens from running for office. It keeps citizens from writing opinions to elected officials. It keeps citizens insulated from elected officials thus further empowering those who are not insecure.

The problem is just because an elected representative is not insecure and the citizen is … doesn’t mean the elected official is right and the citizen is wrong on the issues.

One of my boyhood heroes was Mohammad Ali. That was back when everyone knew who was the Heavyweight Champion. Ali was not insecure. But, he had great advice for those that were insecure.

“To be a great champion you must believe you are the best. If you’re not, pretend you are.” 

That’s right … fake it. 

You will be amazed to find out how many others are faking it. They are pretending they are the best when in reality they aren’t even close. 

Your local City Council … are they the best, or are they faking it?

Your State Legislators … are they the best, or are they faking it?

Your Federal Legislators … are they the best or are they faking it?

I rest my case.

Fake it and the world is yours.

Sad but true.

Maybe, just maybe, that could be the root cause of some of our problems?
