Authentic Self

I spent this past weekend at home with the goal of getting down to the basics.  I asked myself: what is important, and what is the best way to simplify? Where and how can I lighten my load?  In doing so, funnily enough, two versions emerged, one short and one long. Choose whichever one resonates with you. 

The Authentic Self is

(The short version)

Vulnerable and unafraid

Feels what it feels,

Willing to go all in and try

Decisive prepared to leap

Almost perfectly not perfectionistic

Directed with love

Not fake or replicated

Takes a knee to pause, regroup and move forward

The Authentic Self is

(The Long Version)

Unafraid of vulnerability 

Transparent

Moves with integrity

The essence of you

Loves itself

Visible

Cause rather than the effect

Has no competition

Free

Speaks from the heart

Instinctive

Present in both the good and bad times

Inspiring

An independent thinker

Prepared to take the next a leap

Consistent

Eternally Alive

Inner directed

Gentle

Clear

Still and deep

Effortless

Fearless

Non-judgmental 

Lives in truth

Knows when to walk away.

Aligned 

Accountable

A leader

Loves what it does

Passionate

A natural energy

Conscious

Uncompromising

Thirst for freedom

Has the courage to say NO

Is what it feels

It can’t be fake

Let’s go and embraces

A lover of truth

Brings its best foot forward

Comfortable in its own skin

Unconditional love in action

Beautifully unique

True voice

Can’t be fake or replicated

Grateful

compassionate

Willing to try

Not perfectionistic
