Impractical Grace

I had an interesting response to the concept of faking it 'til you make it.  Someone pointed out that this approach may not be completely honest.  What I meant was that things may not be good yet, but I hope  they will be, so I'm going to try to  help them along. I don't think being optimistic is being dishonest. I guess I see it more like this--I might not have ever kept a garden alive before, but I really want to this year. I don't have a green thumb yet, but if I try to fake it 'til I make it, and go through the motions, maybe I will. Maybe not one that makes things flourish, but a decent one.
