More and more people say the phrase – I want to become my authentic self. But what does it mean to BE your authentic self, and what must you Do? I answer the 2nd part of that question first. What you must do to become your authentic self means you learn to love yourself – unconditionally.
However, You will not go from having little to overflowing with self-love in a flash. Instead, it is going to be a process. You cannot do one affirmation or meditation technique and discover your self-love. It took years to lose your sense of loving yourself, so it will take time to find it again. And you can not become your authentic self without it.
It is the journey to becoming your authentic self that will lead to loving yourself again. For it will open your eyes, reveal your negative beliefs. The journey causes you to discover your inner orphans and find love for them. It is the journey that will set you free from the past. It’s all about the journey – and you are already on the journey whether you acknowledge it or not. Life is the journey.
How are you going to go through life? Are you going to stay asleep and keep waiting for someone to rescue you? Or are you going to buy a new house, change jobs, get a new relationship – all so you can feel differently? Or are you going to wake up and really get to know yourself? What makes you tick and why? To be your authentic self, you MUST know Yourself. It is knowing yourself that causes you to fall in love with yourself. So to answer the first question I asked at the beginning -what does it mean to BE your authentic self? It means to be whole. -Not perfect. Above all, y0u were not meant it be perfect, but y0u were intended to be whole, and that is why we take the journey to become whole again.
