Authenticity is about being yourself above all else. Honestly, its about making a conscious decision to show up and be real. Its the daily practice of letting go of who we think we are supposed to be and embracing who we are.
For example lets take a look at singers.
You can always tell who is just a puppet of the corporate marketing machine, who have their songs and lyrics written for them to sing, but you can always tell who wrote their songs from their heart, from their authentic selves. The fear that surrounds authenticity is the fear of not being liked. It was instilled in us when we were kids. Being different meant having a target on your forehead. As we grow older, we have a similar feeling of fear of rejection. What if nobody genuinely likes your authenticity?
To be honest, its hard to let go, but once you let go of the spirit of proving the result is YOU living YOUR best possible life. The reality of the situation is life is short, and not only that... its yours. Why live it to prove something to anyone else?
We only have one life to live, why not make it an authentic one?
Always remember if you are your authentic self you have no competition.
