Before I become famous
'Once you can fake that, you've got it made'.
Imitate confidence so that it produces success until happiness becomes real, fame becomes real.
What is missing in this 'fake it till you make it' approach is that sincerity, the virtue of one who speaks and acts truly about their own feelings, thoughts and desires, is not something turned outward but a relationship we have with our selves.Sincerity focused outwards is false. We see this when we look at grainy images of celebrities, the real before the fake, the awkward self reliance, the 'just like us' grainy homemade image sequence or self-shot video.
We realize that sincerity cannot function except as an internal relation. Even then, it is fraught with alienated majesty but the possibility for it to be real exists.
