PP, I just read your 2nd post on this thread with the thought by Accuray. It gave me pause.
Would you please expand on the idea of "Act as If". Thanks
Think of it this way Mutatio...say you have to walk for 5 miles. At the end of the 5 miles you're either going to get handed ten thousand dollars cash, or get punched in the stomach repeatedly.
You don't know which and won't know which until you complete the 5 miles. Now the experience you have walking the 5 miles is completely up to you regardless of which outcome you're going to receive because you can't predict the future. Make sense so far?
You have a choice - be happy about the 10k, be upbeat, maybe plan a few things that you're going to do with it, etc. How will the people walking with you perceive you? How will you experience the walk?
But what if you act as if you're going to get punched? You're all anxious, short of breath, panicky et? You still don't know what's waiting for you, it could be the 10k right? How will the people walking with you perceive you this way? How will you experience the walk acting this way?
Since you've got a 50/50 shot at the outcome and have no way to influence it, why not act as if you're going to get the cash and enjoy the walk?
