3 daily steps to your Authentic
self

Same view different weather!! Being your authentic self is about knowing
your view but accepting the weather will change!!
It
is very challenging being authentic in today’s society, yet it appears it is
the one thing everyone needs to achieve in order to reach a consistent level of
happiness to build life upon. Many people believe that if they had more money
and a little financial freedom, they would be happy. This is not the truth; you
will have financial freedom when you have become truly happy.
You
see, the first challenge we face is, we live in a society that measures success
and happiness by the size of a home and quality of personal possessions. Living
up to this causes the most stress and creates a very big bridge between life
and our authentic self.
The
second greatest challenge is; many people are ‘people pleasers’ being afraid of
rejection or not fully valuing themselves, putting other people’s needs before
theirs. We must fill our own cup first before we can truly help others. This
used to be me before I grew inside and reached my authentic self, a place to
live honestly and true to my values. The authentic self, goes beyond pleasing
just to be polite, the authentic self lives in the moment and helps others from
the heart, not expecting or wanting anything in return. The authentic self will
recognise when the help offered is coming from a place of lack of self esteem
and the need to please others at the neglect of themselves, and will be able to
change this.
The
first step to true joy and happiness is discovering your authentic self, once
discovered it will NOT go away. Life will become challenging as you make the
transition from living life on the surface to living in the depths of truth. I
believe the first half of life is spent discovering, learning and growing into
the authentic self and the second half is being it! Authentic self is about
being in the zone, YOUR zone. The authentic self isn’t scared or worried, it
just is. It is there for each and every one of us asking to be found.
3 Fundamental Steps (and Benefits) to Finding Your Authentic Self
- Find WHO is at the root of you. If there was no such thing as lack of money, fear or failure - what would you do? By answering this (mainly by repeatedly asking yourself the question)... you get to live YOUR dream and your dream is NOT for sale! The energy and passion you put out from your heart will draw people in to support you and help make your dreams come true rather than others getting in the way.
- Let go of fear of criticism. It is THE major cause of most failures in people going after their dream life... With this attitude you don’t have to be anyone you are not, no more acting! You don’t need to look up to people and put others on a pedestal, because you are perfect just the way you are.
- Find people who already live true to their desires and surround yourself with their knowledge... BUT as Oscar Wilde says ‘Be yourself, everyone else is taken’. You can admire others and adopt habits that would allow you to be more of you but not so much that you want to be someone else. I have been creative all my life but I never respected that. My belief was that creative people had nothing and achieved nothing so I MADE myself become academic and I was very miserable, I also found myself with friends who I had nothing in common and found myself making things up just to be a part of that group! Fortunately, one day I discovered the value in my creativity and found an outlet for it that is authentic and very helpful to others.
Why??
You will have more confidence, more determination
and push yourself out of your comfort zone in order to discover more of yourself
and what you are truly capable of. Why should anyone be embarrassed of being
who he or she is? We are all born unique, there is no one like you or me on the
planet and the world needs each and everyone one of us.
You can do and live your passion all your life. You know what life means and you can get on with it. You live healthier and happier and can earn a living doing what you love.
You have relationships built on truth. You will attract better relationships into your life and when they change you have the strength to say thank you for all we have had, it is time to move on.
