Authenticity

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.
