No role-playing, no being someone else. And you don't "have" to do anything! What I mean is: looking at another person who is being what you would like to be, imagining yourself floating over into that person and seeing what it's like to be that, and then float back to your own self and take the way of being with you. You're not being another person or pretending. You're trying on a new way of being, and modeling yourself after that person is just a tool for making that easy. Quite different from role-playing or pretending.

I would be some sort of a pioneer if I were able to be influential and charismatic, and at the same time tell weird, non-mainstream opinions, without being laughed at...
Or do you know people who have weird and bizarre opinions, yet are influential and charismatic?

Let's see, where shall I start? How about our own Steve Pavlina? and his influential, charismatic and decidedly non-mainstream wife, Erin Pavlina? How about Tony Robbins, or Werner Erhardt, or Martin Luther King, or Malcolm X, or L. Ron Hubbard, or Jesus? Sun Myung Moon? Mahatma Ghandi? Oprah Winfrey? Sacha Baron Cohen? Abbey Hoffman? Stop me anytime. Abraham Lincoln, Eminem, Tom Cruise, Perez Hilton, John F. Kennedy? I could go on and on.
What's wrong with being a pioneer?
