Today is Wednesday August 16th on today's show:
I am going to start of the day with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE, Let's go!
Well since today is National Authenticity Day,
Today's word of the day authenticity.
//: the quality of being authentic:
**Quote of the day:
"Authenticity is more than speaking; Authenticity is also about doing. Every decision we make says something about who we are." - Simon Sinek
What does it actually mean to be authentic? There are many definitions, but they all usually boil down to having our actions match our words and our words lining up with our beliefs and values. It’s a long-winded way of saying that we are who we truly are without imitating or mimicking someone else. We’re not being who we think we “should” be, but instead, we are showing up as we truly are. Our true selves.
The journey toward authenticity is a lifelong process. Adolescents and young adults' experiment with friends, partners, hobbies, and jobs to identify what feels right for their present and their future. Being authentic involves the ability to understand what motivates oneself. Such accurate self-knowledge can be a double-edged sword, though, if it reveals uncomfortable truths or weaknesses that one would rather not admit.
Being authentic can also put a person at odds with their larger peer group if their emerging perspective is an unpopular one. However, authentic people wouldn’t look to others for approval or surrender to the social pressures of what they should or shouldn't do. The validation they derive from following an internal compass is sufficient for their mental well-being.
Developing authenticity is an ongoing process. To begin, reflect on your values. What changes can you make to live in accordance with those values?
Genuine people share a few key traits. They tend to take time to develop an opinion and speak their mind, respond to internal expectations rather than external ones, and forge a unique path to fulfill their passion and purpose. They aren’t threatened by failure and can admit their faults. They are often less judgmental of others and have strong self-esteem.
Now inauthentic people?
They tend to be defensive and self-deceptive. They also have unrealistic perceptions of reality, looking to others for approval and validation, being judgmental, not thinking things through, not learning from mistakes, and being unable to express emotions clearly or understand their own motivations.
Being authentic requires courage. Revealing your true self could garner disfavor from others. It makes you vulnerable to rejection or betrayal.
But being true to yourself and values in the long run will fill your life with people who really belong in your life. Much love.
You got this!
