One thing about authenticity is that it is not a "doing" thing. No one can teach you how to be authentic. What someone like me can do is remind you to be authentic because we live in a world that is not fashioned that way. Authenticity is multi-layered. It is about you living from the core of your being. It is a flow with the current of your life and that of life (God) itself. It is your feel-good zone. Even if what you are being guided to do is difficult and discomforting, you will still feel good about it. Here are some of the things to note about it:. 1. It is personal 2. It has no pattern. 3. No one can discredit your authenticity because it is intensely personal. 4. Ease is an indication of your authenticity. 5. Sometimes you miss it, and it is okay. 6. It is the highest vibration because you are living from your authentic self, God. 7. It is felt even when people cannot pinpoint it. 8 It does not negate challenges, but you will always be okay. 9. You live the truth. You live the truth as you perceive it within you. #authenticity #authenticityandwholenesshub #guidetoauthenticliving #howtoawakentoyourauthenticself

Values, in essence, are the cornerstone and foundation of everything you do, everything you say and everything you are. Values are your agreement to yourself on how you want to be and what characteristics you want to portray. Have you thought about your values and considered what they are? One thought you may have, is to be a good family man, but what values must you have to be so? Respect, empathy, encouragement, understanding, love, kindness, acceptance, to name a few. To be a good family man then, reflect on whether you’re demonstrating these core values. Be honest, as lying will only serve to discredit your true authentic self. To be a certain character model, such as a family good man, consider the core values necessary and consciously work yourself to develop yourself. Over time, these will compound and lead you to your desired character model. It is within your reach, but you must commit with the effort demanded of it and ensure your ego remains in check always. 💛🦁 #evolvingmanproject #author #jayroberts #alphamale #family #positivethinking #empowerment #inspire #culture #culturalarchitect #keynotespeaker #confidence #diaryofaninnerlion #empathy #values #gentleman

How many times have you accomplished something big, earned high grades, received rewards or prizes, heard congratulations and praise... but something about it felt empty? Even while you were performing well on the outside, on the inside you were somehow aware of how much of your gifted authenticity was being suppressed in order to perform? High accomplishment without gifted authenticity often feels hollow, and can lead to feelings of impostering, futility, meaninglessness, and at the extreme, even rage, numbness or existential depression. When our accomplishing arises out of our gifted authenticity, however, it has meaning for us personally - not just to prove something to the outside world, but to experience and express something essential from our inside world. Naturally, those kinds of accomplishments don't always win rewards or prizes, congratulations or praise (though they sometimes do). But they do always deepen our connection to self, to our living energy, and to others and the world around us. It is literally through our gifted authentic expressing that we create belonging for our gifted self in the world. And that's a lifetime project. Authenticity is a creative act, one that is lived out moment by moment, and often in incremental steps. Gifted authenticity is a bold act, one that we grow into and make visible over time in a world where the "extra dimensions" of the gifted experience are often invisible unless we courageously shine our light on them. Of course, all of this is easier and our collective light shines brighter when we gifted people grow into our gifted authenticity together in community! 💚 Join us at https://lnkd.in/eR8h_PSj! ___ #authenticity #giftedness #giftedadults #giftedcommunity #highachievers #ImposterSyndrome #existentialdepression

Authenticity is a challenging in a world full of judgement. You long to be seen and loved for who you truly are, without the fear of judgment or rejection. But why is it so difficult to embrace you authentic self? Well, there are many reasons but one of the most formidable: The Fear of Judgment. You worry that if you reveal your true identity along with your thoughts, feelings and desires others will criticize you or perceive you as less than or broken. Find comfort and courage in the fact that those who judge others are often just projecting their own insecurities and that they are more afraid than you are. Think about it: when someone judges you harshly, it's often because they feel threatened by your authenticity. Deep within themselves, they wish they had the courage to express their own truth as openly as you do. So, instead of allowing judgment to deter you from being authentic, you get to take pride in your ability to stay true to yourself despite judgement by others. When you shine bright as your true self, you inspire others to embrace their authenticity and live unapologetically.
The Greatest Barrier To Authenticity Is The Fear Of Judgment

Breaking Free: The Liberating Power of Authenticity Authenticity comes at a cost. You’ll lose people, friends, and connections when you start being your true self. But here’s the thing: those relationships were never truly yours to begin with. They were built on a false version of you, a mask you wore to fit in or in order to please others. @gabormatemd wisdom has been a huge wake-up call for me on this. It’s a tough realization, but one that sets you free. Embrace the losses, for they make room for genuine connections that value you for YOU. #authenticity #selfdiscovery #gabormate But that sunset tho!!?! We’ve been getting some real beautiful ones lately. 😍 “It’s true, if you are authentic you might lose some attachment relationships, that’s going to be painful but which pain would you rather have, the pain of being authentic and losing some friendships that were no friendships at all, or the pain of losing yourself and all its implications and all its impacts on the body. This contest between attachment and authenticity can be a painful one, but you can decide what kind of pain you want.” - Dr. Gabor Mate

𝔼𝕄𝔹ℝ𝔸ℂ𝕀ℕ𝔾 𝕋ℝ𝕌𝔼 ℝ𝔼𝕃𝔸𝕋𝕀𝕆ℕ𝕊ℍ𝕀ℙ𝕊 - 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐲 In the depths of my thoughts and emotions lies a realization that deeply touches my soul. It is a truth that spreads within me relentlessly, like the gentle rise of the moonlight in the clear night sky. Though it may seem inconsequential how a person stands out from others – be it through social status, wealth, fame, beauty or character – behind this veil of superficiality lies a cascade of consequences. The voices of people blend like a lively chorus, expressing praise and criticism in an unsteady rhythm. They talk, strive to emphasize their own importance and also may hide in the shadows, skillfully disguising their true intentions. But I have come to understand that the true value of a person does not lie in the volumes of speech that revolve around them. No, it reveals itself in the depth of the soul, in the quiet moments of self-reflection, and in the sincerity of the heart. When others talk about someone, it may seem like a measure of relevance, but I have learned that it is crucial to distinguish between the facades of actors and the authenticity of true souls. In the encounters that life presents to me, I recognize the true nature of interaction. When I am in the presence of those who conceal their true selves and don masks, like in a theatrical play, I feel discomfort deep within me. It is a sign that this path is not meant for me. The probability that such behavior persists even in the absence of others is high. So, I withdraw, seeking the path of authenticity and treading on ways that celebrate true togetherness. It is a path of truthfulness and respect that unveils the facades and illuminates the soul. I realize that the true value of a person lies in how they encounter themselves and how they treat their fellow human beings with respect and kindness.
