Let’s
talk about authenticity. The key synonym
we want to focus on is “genuineness”.
Become
a genuine article – no fake, nothing phony, no imitation.
Let’s
put this into a relationship box. What
do people think of you? What labels are
attached to you and are they true?
When
we cultivate authenticity, we let go of what others think of us and we become
authentic.
Authentic
– a whole person, true to our innate identity and we own our own set of morals,
our own standards, and we align with our own sense of integrity.
I
love the analogy I learned from Denis Waitley, motivational speaker. In old Italy, if a tourist wanted to be
assured of buying a statue without cracks and without wax to fill the cracks,
they would look for the signs stating “Sine Cera" – without wax.
To
be a person of authenticity you are a person without wax. You are a whole and complete individual and
you are what your words and your life say you are.
Cultivate
authenticity – Let go of what others think and live your own true blue life.
