Authenticity does not come from title, social stature or wealth, but rather from how we live. That is, how we go about pursuing our purpose and making a contribution in our own unique way. Authentic people prevail in changing times because they are in harmony with the energy of the universe. Most Questers, described in Questers Dare to Change Your Job and Life, are authentic.
To be authentic, you must understand who you are, what you want to be, and how you want to fit in the world. You should be self-guided. To determine your level of authenticity take the quiz, “How Authentic Are You?” http://www.questersdaretochange.com/2015/07/27/authenticity-a…changing-times/
- Build self esteem. Confidence gives you courage to set high expectations, to risk, to grow, to be authentic.
- Acknowledge your accomplishments. Prepare a list of positive achievements and personality characteristics. Post this where you can read it daily.
- Don’t change to please others or compare yourself to or compete with others.
- Stretch yourself. Constantly push the envelope, raising standards. Challenge conventional beliefs and paths. Travel uncharted territories. Although this may invoke disappointments, accepting and growing through challenges enhances authenticity.
- Be in the moment. Engage yourself completely in the activity at hand.
- Maintain perspective. Time and distance can make mountains seem like molehills. Don’t let what happened yesterday affect what will happen tomorrow. Look upon setbacks as one step toward growth and authenticity.
- Take comfort in uncertainty. This unchartered path evolves moment-by-moment. Realize the path is the goal. Everything is workable.
- Strengthen resilience. Note what you’ve learned from traumatic experiences. Indicate how these have made you stronger, wiser, more authentic. Identify early cues that you’ve ignored, and what you’d now do differently.
- Manage fear. Identify worrisome issues. Minimize these by researching relevant information and resources. Live in the present. Let go of “attachments.”
- Create a life in which you continue to grow and have choices. Make choices in harmony with your authentic self. Use your Quester power. “Questers Dare to Change Your Job and Life” shows you how: www.questersdaretochange.com
