Authenticity is not about being unfiltered. It's about staying true to your principles.
The goal isn't to voice every opinion you hold. It's to stand up for ideas that are consistent with your ideals.
Being genuine is closing the gap between what you value and what you express.
“Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.” - Eckhart Tolle
"Deep down, below the surface of the average man’s conscience, he hears a voice whispering, 'There is something not right,' no matter how much his rightness is supported by public opinion or moral code." - Carl Gustav Jung
“A great deal of what people say, think, or do is actually motivated by fear, which of course is always linked with having your focus on the future and being out of touch with the Now. As there are no problems in the Now, there is no fear either.” - Eckhart Tolle
Owning up to your mistakes doesn’t cast doubt on your credibility. Admitting you were wrong shows that you care about getting it right.
Recognizing moments of bad judgment is a step toward demonstrating good judgment.
Issuing a correction is a mark of intellectual integrity.
Instead of actively seeking
happiness and joy,
we hide from life
by occupying our mind
with strategies for
how to avoid stress and fear.
Things won't change
if you keep doing them
the same way.
Step out of your
comfort zone.
Be brave.
Try something new.

As soon as I wake every morning, I remind myself that all human beings are the same as me—we all want to be happy. I resolve to use my life to ensure that other beings are happy. It’s compassion that brings about peace of mind, not anger and hatred.
