By authentically sharing when things aren’t right you allow the people you care about to offer the support you may need.
~ Susan C. Young
Living in alignment with your true self enables you to cultivate transparency and unshakable authenticity.
Admittedly, there will be times when you must interact on a superficial level and adjust your behavior to fit in, go along and get along.
Not everyone is always going to like you. What impresses one person may turn another away. To thine own self be true.
Interestingly, being yourself allows others to be themselves. Even with crazy imperfections, being a bona fide genuine person is the best any of us can be—messy flaws and all!
Authentic people are so comfortable in their own skins they make us more comfortable in our own.
She is so secure in her beautifully imperfect self that she would welcome you with open arms, no judgment, and complete acceptance.
Do you generally feel uncomfortable around people whom you perceive to be perfect? Is there really such a thing as the perfect person? Of course not! Our flaws are often what differentiates us from each other, and no person is perfect.
I am a recovering perfectionist, and like all in recovery, I do better some days than others!
Authenticity isn’t just about saying “this is who I am”—it is also about being flexible enough to recognize and appreciate the uniqueness in others—honoring the mutual respect for being authentic and true.
Why did I think that the mask was a better portrayal than my authentic self? We can get hidden under layers of illusion, can’t we?
As a young girl, I allowed my self-esteem to be determined by others’ opinions, and I devoted incredible energy tuning into how everyone else felt.
As a lifetime people pleaser, I remember trying to mold myself into the person I thought other people wanted me to be—all for the sake of being liked and accepted. It caused more pain than gain.
Do you really want people to like you for something that you’re not? It takes a lot of energy to pretend to be someone else for the sake of pleasing others.
The challenge of being authentic for people pleasers is that we really want people to like and accept us. Being vulnerable, however, requires that we come to terms with the fact that not everyone is going to like us, and that it is okay. Not everyone needs to like us.
Life’s most amazing moments between people are built on trust, communication, acceptance, and love.
The days of the pushy salesmen and self-serving narcissists are over. That type of behavior quickly alienates and pushes people away because it offends and can’t be trusted.
People must believe that you are real and are who you say you are, otherwise they will not want to do business with you, much less make the effort to move forward in starting and building a relationship.
When I meet someone who is truly genuine, I am drawn to their personality and find them easier to approach, engage, and interact with. They have no hint of false pretense, nor do I worry about hidden agendas.
