a simple focus for living your authentic life


I had a simple idea last night.

To live your authentic life, you just need to be your authentic Self.

While it is exciting to think about a more authentic life and all of the good that will come with it, there is no way of knowing if the details of the authentic life you envision are what you will actually experience. There’s a chance that by fixating your attention on the details of the life you are pursuing, you may miss paths to a life more true to your authentic Self.

But if you focus on living true to your Self and being the most authentic version of it each day, your authentic life will unfold as it should.

This doesn’t mean you don’t think about what your future Self might be like—who you would like to become, because I do believe in the law of attraction and manifestation, but the majority of your effort should be on going inward and connecting with your Self, finding the confidence to bring that version out, and continuing to be true to your authentic Self.

This sounds easy, but I’ve found that it’s not.

Most people might only know a fraction of their authentic Self and struggle with finding the confidence to share even that fraction with the world.

The work that needs to be done in order to walk the path of your authentic life begins with truly understanding who you are and meeting your authentic Self.
