Quit Fighting Your Authentic Self

iStock_000007870008XSmallDo you resist being who you are?  In what way do you resist?

Resistance is everything less than fully accepting the core truth of who you are.  Resistance is running away from, complaining about, avoiding decisions on and doubting your own authentic destiny.

There is a deep and narrow truth about who you are and what you’re capable of. But there is also a more familiar, conditioned “truth” (lies) others have told you that you’ve accepted about yourself.

Admit it.  Deep down you know one from the other.  Standing tall and speaking in your own name is powerfully freeing.

I’m inviting you to join authentic friends around the world who believe in prosperity through authenticity here at this page.  It’s free and it will encourage your authentic self to come out more.

Free yourself.  What you resist persists.

Confusion is resistance.  Procrastination is resistance.  Perfectionism is resistance.  All of these excuses are too weak for your strong fearless self to even believe.

Resistance by definition is self-sabotage.  We can navigate by Resistance, letting it guide us to that calling or action that we must follow before all others.  Rule of thumb: The more important a call or action is to our soul’s evolution, the more Resistance we will feel toward pursuing it.  Steven Pressfield, The War of Art

So my authentic friend, where are you really fighting yourself?

I know, it takes lots of courage to follow your path.   Heck it takes courage just to admit that you have one true path that calls you above all others.

So what.  You’ve been brave before.   You can do it again.  Resisting is a weak and shallow exercise in self-pity.   You’re stronger than that.

Ask these questions and allow the answers to soak into your bones.

Exactly where am I resisting my true self?

What scares me the most about going for my unfulfilled dreams?

Where do I create the greatest amount of self-suffering?

What great things have I always believed about myself but have yet to act on?

Your answers will lead to clarity of calling and path.

The path of your calling reveals itself more readily when you embrace your boldness.  The path of your calling reveals itself when you listen to your own authentic voice and act on it.

It takes a lot of balls to create something new and different.  It takes even more balls to follow-through all the way to completion authentically.  But really, what choice do you have?  It’s your path and no one else can follow it like you can.

Being who we are and doing what we can do is the essence of authenticity.  Kim George

When you are not being who you are and doing what you can do, you have fallen deeply into the deadly trap of resistance.   Free yourself today.

You may have been settling for less than fulfilling, abundant, work for so long, that you’ve forgotten the way back to your authentic self.

I know the way and its my mission and honor to guide you there.

Embrace your authentic boldness.   Join us for this courageous workshop of self-discovery and evolution on January 2 in Pittsburgh.  Come back to your fearless self.  She’s waiting to show you the way.

I’ve decided to offer some partial scholarships based on real need and authenticity.  If you really want to join us, do not use the lack of money as an excuse.  Your bold presence is far more important to me than your money. Send me an email requesting consideration. Be fearless.

First Be Authentic In Three Key Ways

First be authentic to become courageous.
First be authentic to become fulfilled.
First be authentic to become wealthy.

Authenticity enriches everything.  Faking it is ineffective and emotionally costly.

I’ve made no bones about my intention with this site.   I intend to lead a movement for courageous individuals who want to move beyond their fears by and follow their most authentic path.

Authenticity is simply being all of who you are and expressing that highest version of conscious self without reservation.  No holding back.  No playing small.  No hiding.  No hesitation to help others find their own way.

My research and work with hundreds of coaching clients over the last ten years has shown that instead of following our most authentic path, most of us compromise and follow a smaller, less risky path.

Do you know what stops you from being authentic?

I’ve identified three key decisions that cause us to follow fear rather than true calling freedom.  For years most of us are unaware that we are making these decisions by default.  Yet once enlightened we resist the same decisions out of fear.

1). We accept less fulfillment and abundance than we know is possible.

2). We hide parts of who we really are.

3). We shoot for smaller life objectives than we can imagine.

Most all other fears have their roots within these three.  Which stops you most often?

If you’re concerned about what others might think it could be a deadly combination of all three.

Fear of looking like a fool will stop you from getting what you want.  Egbert Sukop

So which stops you from being authentic the most.  Begin there and take a small step towards your true path.  You’re calling won’t fully identify itself unless you honor you.

Self-honor begins with the decision to take a small step in the right direction.

1). How could you raise the limits of what you think is possible for your to enjoy?

2). What original quirk or personality aspect could you flaunt for authenticity?

3). What bigger dream could you take one small step towards today?

Take that step.   Be authentic first.   Be bold.  Live the life you were meant to live.
