I personally am a huge Brad Pitt fan, I like to watch and model his very laid back actions - especially in The Oceans series and then ask myself - what is his focus here - what is he believeing about himself to act this way, what is he doing on the inside to replicate this? Theres a deeper level than just actions
cultivate the natural parts of yourself that are in accordance with what you wanna model - they are there... |
There is a deeper level that just actions, I can see that. If you learn to think like a successful person you will still be you, but a successful you.

Ok, so if you model how someone else THINK, than you are enhancing yourself by "upgrading you mental software". You are still being you. But when you are only emulating the behaviours without the backing mental processes then you are just pretending to be the source of that behaviours.
Yeah Lester, I'm far too analytical. I'm working on this

Now it's clear, Mr. Incredible. I was missing a critical distinction between behaviours and their backing mental habits.
