Most people live their entire lives never finding their authentic self! They never find the person they were meant to be, nor do they develop themselves to their greatest potential. Unfortunately this is much easier said than done, for it takes time and effort to undo programmed habits and ways of living.
It is time for us to claim our authentic self and live life to our fullest potential. To be authentic means to find the key to happiness and success within ones self, not within society that they live in. Society usually means the external system of authority that consciously and unconsciously dictates the direction and behavior of our lives. Do you ever wonder why it is so important to live a certain way, with a certain car, house, school degree, etc.! It is because society dictates it to be so. To live and be your authentic self, you must free yourself from that cultural prison. You must think for yourself and create your own thoughts, needs and desires. Then, and only then, you are being authentic.
When you live an authentic life, you are living the life that resonates with your inner being. You will not bind yourself with destructive habits, relationships or lifestyles. You will gain inner strength and let go of manipulation, power plays, cruelty and hatred. You will find that your life is being elevated to a higher spiritual level. You will be thinking of humankind, rather than self. You won’t be afraid of truth, and will deal with fear in a better way.
I encourage you to lead yourself into a life of authenticity. You may need to spend some time and ponder exactly what it is you want from your life, and who exactly you are. It is a journey that will lead you to incredible things, mostly YOURSELF!

Eldridge,
Thank you for sharing from your heart. Sometimes we have to travel through that which we do not want to realize what we really DO want. That is truly a gift because you can relate to others going through similar experiences and possibly help them to step out of that. Having empathy for people sets up connections to your greatness!
Glad you are part of our community,
Val

Hi Eldridge,
One of the best ways to be authentic is to share what’s on your heart and to do it publicly. It allows people to see who you are and that was communicated in your video.
While watching your video 2 things came up for me that resonate with me right now on this topic. And that is… “To thine own self be true” and “Love is all there is”.
Glad you’re on the journey with us.

Hey Don,
As I have gotten older, I do realize that I’m not ashamed of my past, and actually bring it up because of what I went through as a young man with Social Phobia.
I love letting people know who I am and have no regets!!
Thanks Don
