[Quote No.57429] Need Area: Fun > Music
"[Smile and laugh, whistle, hum and sing, etc:] Actions seems to follow feeling, but really actions and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not. [So as they say, 'act till it's a fact' and 'fake it till make it'.] Thus the sovereign voluntary path to cheerfulness, if our cheerfulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully and to act and speak as if cheerfulness were already there." - William James
