“Are You Your Authentic Self?”
The mantra for years in anything connected with personal growth is Be Yourself.
But what is Be Yourself?
Is there an age tied to it?
Most I know readily share … admit … who they are today is not who they were five years ago … twenty years ago.
We all have a variation of ourselves—it can vary at a concert; sitting in a place of worship; or just with your feet up lost in a movie. You name it, different selves can bubble up at different times, events, circumstances.
So, who is your authentic self? Who is your professional self? There is a difference.
How about striving for the self you can be proud of … the one that you don’t have to apologize for? Honestly look at those you hang out with. Are you proud of them … their actions, behaviors, and words? Are you proud of you?
Authenticity counts. Be yourself.
