True authenticity is not about being authentic with others…
For years, I thought being authentic meant being able to express what we think to others. I believed that I lacked the confidence to share my ideas, thoughts, and opinions with others, and I blamed myself for not being authentic with people.

👍🏼 In reality, you don’t need to share your thoughts with others to be authentic.

Authenticity has only one recipient, ONLY ONE! Yourself!!

❤️ Authenticity is a commitment to oneself. It is a promise we make to ourselves to speak the truth. If we try to share all our truths with others, it becomes foolishness. It doesn’t help people and can seriously hinder our goals.
☀️ The next time you seek to be authentic, affirm the truth in front of yourself and don’t try to force it upon people who haven’t asked for it or aren’t capable of understanding it.
It’s simple to be AUTHENTIC. 🙌🏼
