READY... “This above
all: To thine own self be true, And it
must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any
man.” ~ Hamlet, Shakespeare

Are you being true to your own
self? Do you act differently around
different people? I mean, who ARE you,
really? Being authentic is simply being
you. You know, the genuine, unaltered,
real version of you. Do you even know who
YOU are? It seems that people have so
many expectations about who they want us to be in life. However, the only
people we have to be is ourselves. If
you have to change who you are to please someone else, that should raise a huge
red flag. A leopard doesn’t change its
spots; we shouldn’t have to change our personalities either. As long as we have a clear conscience about
the life we are living and the choices we are making, we have nothing to worry
about. Just be real! Authenticity is
hard to validate in our society.
However, just give it time. A
fake person will reveal herself one way or another. When you are yourself, you
chose the easy path. If you are being
yourself, you’ve got nothing to worry about.
You won’t have to fill shoes that your feet don’t fit into. What a relief!
FIRE! Authenticity
is the alignment of head, mouth, heart, and feet – thinking, saying, feeling,
and doing the same thing – consistently.
This builds trust, and followers love leaders they can trust. ~ Lance Secretan. Isn’t this exactly what we are all looking
for; authentic leaders and friends we can trust? So…what about you?
Be Excellent!
