Blog Thoughts: Authenticity

Are you living a life that is most true to who you are? I don't believe that most people are doing so. Animals shed their skin all of the time. Have you ever considered that we should as well? Think about it? Why do we lock ourselves into being one human being, one type of way for eternity? Why can't we or don't we explore all the different avenues that the world offers? Why don't we change jobs midway through life? Take the risk to travel for a year? Write the book that has always been in us, but too worried we wouldn't match up to what's out there? If I listened to all the negative people in my life who question my choices daily I would never have travelled the world, lived in as many places as I have, taken risks beyond what seemed logical in life and work; I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't be living my best life. I have been thinking of big changes lately that I know comes with great criticism. But, if I were to let that consume me, am I really being authentic? Consider it today.
