Is Being Authentic A Risk?

If so… Is it worth it?

From Asheville to New York and L.A., so many conversations winging through the airwaves and crisscrossing social media; #beauthentic #beyou #being yourself #authenticyou. The hashtags hit us every time we scroll through an Instagram, FB or Twitter feed.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE REALLY STEP INTO BEING OUR TRUE, OR AUTHENTIC SELF?

Why is it something we want to do? The answer seems really obvious right? Being authentic means being who you truly are and bringing that to the table every time you show up for something. It means giving yourself permission to be the wacky, funny or reserved person you are deep down inside without worrying about what others will think of you.

WHEN WE CHANGE HOW WE SHOW UP ON THE WORLD, EVERYTHING CHANGES AROUND US.

EVERYONE’S TALKING ABOUT BEING AUTHENTIC

Amidst all the talk about being authentic, there isn’t as much about how doing so will change your life in ways that you never guessed at. Some of them might seem exciting and wonderful, others are going to be challenging at first but if you learn to navigate the changes, you can learn to roll with them and create even deeper and more lasting relationships with other people and the world around you.
