Are you living a life that is more in tune with your “authentic” self (who you were created to be) or your “fictional” self (who the world has told you to be)?
We live in a crazy world that’s trying to make us like everyone else, but we should find the courage to keep being our awesome self. Being authentic, real and true to our-self is the ultimate freedom. We should learn to be the best version of our-self and if we cannot put our heart in it, we can take our-self out of it.
I am not saying it’s easy; because when it comes to living as a compassionate, non-judgmental human being, the only challenge is learning to walk a lifetime, comfortably in our own shoes. When people are authentic it’s refreshing, real and truthful. There’s no games’ being played, just a clean, clear communication from the heart and soul.
“Being authentic is the ability to be true to oneself. Living an authentic life requires the ability to be true to our own wants, needs and desires and not live our lives by the opinion of others. Being authentic is the ability to make self-honoring choices and stand firmly in who we are in our core. Being true to ourselves gives us the insight and compassion to see others for who they are, not who we expect them to be. It frees us up from the judgment of ourselves and others and it gives others the freedom to be themselves as well.” Victoria J. Reynolds
So “What Prevents us from Being Authentic?”
It’s really unhealthy and I know that there are a lot of people who struggle with understanding this, but I believe in people and I know that by taking ownership of who we are and by making a choice to become who we really are, we will manage to inspire others to do the same. who’s in?
Make a commitment to yourself to do just that. Promise yourself that you will always act in accordance with who you are and with what you believe in.
