Thus the sovereign voluntary path to cheerfulness, if our spontaneous cheerfulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully and act and speak as if cheerfulness were already there. If such conduct does not make you feel cheerful, nothing else on that occasion can.
So, to feel brave, act as if we were brave. Use all of our will to that end, and a courage-fit will very likely replace the fit of fear.Speaker: William JamesPosted: 21 Aug 2008 at 7:08 AMComments: None... Be the first to comment!
