Yeah, not the best advice in response to someone's troubles. I think I would lose if a friend used it.

I'm all for stretching yourself but the word "pretend" still kind of freaks me out. But I get what you are saying…

Instead of the term "faking it" which can have a negative connotation, I prefer Michael Hyatt's concept of "permanent beta." You certainly can't wait for perfection. My recent post I Clicked The Button And Suddenly Twitter Made Sense

Another thought… (sorry if I'm monopolizing).

When I've seen this phrase used well, it was to inspire folks who had small beliefs in their own capabilities.

We can do very little when we correspondingly think we can do very little. And successful people generally believe that they'll be successful, of course.

But when we pretend we can do much, at least we're somewhere between the two, and we have a chance to prove our own hypotheses wrong, possibly.

Maybe.
