Some of us have compromised foundations because it was never set up right in the first place (childhood trauma).
Some foundations get compromised later on, by external factors.
Luckily you can choose to rebuild your foundation when you acknowledge your pain.
What living authentically also means is being radically honest. About your desires, your boundaries, your opinions. To yourself & others.
When you start living authentically, you will become both sides of a magnet.
You will attract & repel people and both will be constructive.
Most people will think you’re inauthentic (because they don’t know what authenticity is - a lack of conformity) but you can decide to be a completely new person in an instant.
You can decide to stop being who others programmed you to be and start becoming who you want to be.
