authenticity
I have noticed “authenticity” popping up all over the place lately—and it’s being used in a way that is aligned with the “Authentic Life.”
I’ve talked about how authenticity has become a buzzword and how I refuse to let it be hijacked and watered down by influences, inauthentic people, and disingenuous people who use it without any real substance. It was refreshing and exciting to hear people using it in a way that will hopefully encourage more people to pursue becoming their authentic Self.
The common message behind authenticity in the podcasts, videos, and articles I’ve seen lately is that authenticity, being true to your Self, is ultimately the answer to most of your problems. It sounds too straightforward and too idealistic, but if you can be your authentic Self, many of your problems will fade away—lack of confidence, self-love, and frustration of not being able to be true to your Self.
If we look at synonyms for authenticity, I think it’s importance and why it can help you improve your life becomes even clearer:
Genuine
True
Real
Honest
Original
Becoming more authentic is not always easy—in fact, it will probably be difficult for most.
But it is worth it.
And you are worth it.
Lean into a truer, more authentic version of your Self, and keep leaning in.
In a world where more and more people are pretending to be people they are not for clicks, views, and influence, authenticity will stand out and be attractive for those who have grown tired of the fake.
See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
