I reached my limit of free Elephant Journal articles for the day so I can't see the link. I will say, though, one of my favorite words is "authenticity" mainly because I was just a lost soul most of my life being and doing what others wanted of me until one day I stopped.  So I hope the article says things like ~ Know yourself. No, really, FIGURE YOURSELF OUT. Likes, wants, dreams. The kind of person you want to be. The kind of person you don't want to be. ~ Start BEING YOURSELF. (seems like a duh thing to say, but really, sometimes we have to remind ourselves first who we are and then to be that person). Beyond that, I don't know what else they could add. When we truly figure ourselves out and start being that person, the rest falls into place. I acknowledge saying this is way more easy than actually doing it, but the practice (living) is fun. Sometimes I am good at it, other times I still waiver - but it's good to be reminded it's always a goal. Live Fearless. Be You. <3 |

Doing relatively well for myself, but I need to work on a few of those! |

#6 & #10.
"And we're heard"? Not so sure about that. People communicate in different ways. "Not being heard" is a common theme in life.
"Accepting who we are" can mean lack of improvement. Becoming content and not trying to grow.
I don't believe that the author means it that way, but it can.
Anyway. Good article by and large.

It's $13/year. How could I say no? One of my favorite places on the web |

It is as well to keep in mind that in this world there are "authentic arseholes" too.
Whereas the term "authentic" carries with it a notion of personal growth and a level of altruistic behaviours and suchlike, it does NOT always mean this.
There are people about who genuinely and authentically are absolute oxygen thief arseholes.
