LIVING AUTHENTICALLY

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN AND WHAT IS THE POINT??

1.  Consider why you are in the world; my take is that we are each here to manifest our unique combination of skills, talents and abilities, and that we owe it to ourselves and to the rest of the planet to do this

2.  In order to do this, we need to acknowledge these skills, talents and abilities and be true to ourselves; in order to do that, we need to know ourselves well enough to know what is  right for us, develop self-awareness. In order to be true to ourselves, we need to tell ourselves the truth. For example, 'everyone else' may think x but if you  believe y, that is your truth.

3.  Then, to live authentically, you need to have the courage to show up in the world in your magnificence, yes, your magnificence! Remember the Marianne Williamson quote, used by Nelson Mandela in his inaugural speech  - 'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.----' 

4.  And the purpose of  showing up and acting in accordance with our truth? You will know the answer to that if you recall times when you have lived in this way. The satisfaction of knowing that you are using yourself fully and making your contribution is immense.

 

WHAT IS A STEP YOU MIGHT TAKE IN ORDER TO ENABLE MORE OF THAT IN YOUR LIFE?
