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.

See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

A stream of consciousness that occurred this morning in the shower: You don’t have to know your future. Directionally, you can have an idea of where you want to go, but you don’t have to know exactly. You can’t know. There will be events, people, and new ideas that happen between now and then, which will change what is possible and what you desire. Focus on the now. What is your heart telling you to do now? Where is your intuition guiding you? Do that. Explore that. Be that. Then continue to...

I hope you had a great weekend! I started reading Dr. David Hawkins's Letting Go and have found so many great passages that I'm sure they will make their way to Daily Notes, AlignedLife, and other content. Today's Daily Note was inspired by one, and I thought I'd kick off this Weekly Note with another as a reminder of another reason it's so important for us to live our Authentic Lives. "The lower our emotional state, the more negatively we influence not only our own lives but also all of the...

“Because emotions emit a vibrational energy field, they affect and determine the people who are in our lives. Life events become influenced by our repressed and suppressed emotions on the psychic level. Thus, anger attracts angry thoughts. The basic rule of the psychic universe is that “like attracts like.” Similarly, “love promotes love,” so that the person who has let go of a lot of inner negativity is surrounded by loving thoughts, loving events, loving people, and loving pets.
