Be Authentic

Happy Sunday Everyone. Now that we've sprung forward, how are you feeling? Having the extra sunshine was a mood booster and spirit lifter. I took the time to clear my social media from scammers. I mean these impersonators pretend to be anyone trying to get your time, attention and money. Even TD Jake's said that they tend off hundreds of fake profiles weekly. 

It was tiring but a necessary reminder about authenticity. Who do we pretend to be? What is the public persona vs the at home individual? Do you code switch? Do you change your voice based on who you're speaking to? How many filters do you use on your photos? How recent are your profile pics? Let's face it. There are roles we play everyday, but how close is that to the real you? Interviewers always ask this question of character actors. There is always the search for truth and knowledge.  Often, people suffer from Imposter Syndrome when stretching beyond the norm. Criminals always look over their shoulder to see when they'll get caught. So why stress? Why worry? Why not try being your authentic self? The world needs more individuals, not herds or clusters. Shine in your own way. Be different. Be unique. Do you. Nobody can be you but you.  So be the best you that you can be. Are you ready to live authentically? Can you be in the moment with yourself?  Does living your truth excite you? Or frighten you? Please share your comments below.  Thank you for reading this article and  supporting this blogspace.
