Fake it til you make it is a term that is used frequently. Some folks use it when they are struggling with a belief in a higher power. It is more like a blind faith that they place their belief in. I could never get the hang of faking it. It was either there or it wasn’t so I guess I can not relate to those that fake it. I didn’t need to fake it because every time I came to the turning point, I was brought to my knees, this time I was flat on my back. Everyone has their own turning point but the result is always a belief in a power greater than us.
It is a paradox. Going through some extreme pain to come to the realization that we can not do it alone. We give into the higher power that has been carrying us all along. It comes as a great relief that we do not have to face our lives all alone. After the realization, we get a sense of hope and faith that we are safe. A sense that everything is going to be alright. Looking back we can see that we were always o.k. We just never gave it a chance. Free will is a hard thing to control. Free will can make us arrogant and it can give us a feeling that we are in control when in fact we have very little control over things and even if we did have control, we would probably louse everything up. I am not very good at just letting things be. I am too impatient in just letting them unfold. I can look back at many instances in my life where I jumped the gun. Hind sight is 20/20.
Keep the faith

Could it be possible that Love never existed in the relationship to begin with? If you agree that when God is near, Love is near. God is love. God loves us unconditionally, that is faith. In order for a person to express love for another, they must love themselves first. So instead of saying love has boudaries, look deep within and see where you are at. It all begins with you. Clean house, Trust God, Help Others.

Anyway, the idea of 'Fake it Til you make it' is surely a tricky one. So many people make lots of money from others who fall for the Fakery. The big ones in fake it til you make it are the ones who lie and connive, and the innocents who just want to make a little end up losing a lot.
I don't think any belief in God will help you against that type of person.
Anyway, I certainly feel for anyone having to cope with a loved one with BP - it is a truly difficult illness to cope with in others.
