You Must Pretend to Sleep...

I was scrolling the 'gram when this quote hit me in the face like a ton of bricks...
"to fall asleep, you must
pretend to be at sleep first.
and that's how everything works."
Well dang.
Soooooooo...
You can't become a confident racer until you've signed up for a lot of races.
You can't become strong until you've stumbled your way through some strength workouts.
You can't hit high mile weeks if you keep telling your friends you "go for runs" instead of "I'm a runner".
The same goes for art, work, and relationships.
Not quite a "fake 'til you make it", but invest and believe in your success until it happens.
Or insomnia is cool too, I guess 🤷‍♂️
