This month we spent our time focusing and going deeper in thought around Authenticity.We hope you found the meditations, blogs and daily illustrations uplifted your spirit and brought into your life true practical insights for your life. To remind you plain and simple Authenticity is about being yourself, your Best Self, at all times, in all circumstances, with everyone. You are the only one who is best at being you, so stop trying to be like someone else or what others want you to be so you can fit in. I once heard someone say, “Be yourself, everyone else is already taken.”

The wildest part of this journey called life is the drive to discover this thing called YOU. It can prove to be the most painstaking process, yet exhilarating and expansive. This month we prepare to move into the exploration of the principle Authenticity. We endeavor to ponder deeply what practicing Authenticity means in our lives. I was knocked over the head while reading an article online recently, in fine prints, it read “you don’t go around trying to prove to other people who you are” and my inner voice continued “just be”.

Apart of being authentic I have found is learning to listen deeply. Listen to the still small voice that guides and directs and sometimes, for me says “shut up.” I have had friends ask many times how to get their mind quiet or is there a moment when you think of nothing? The truth is the mind never goes quiet and thoughts are always active, always. However, is there a space when you can get still for but a few nanoseconds, absolutely!

I have done the resolutions thing and tried to remake the resolutions perhaps somewhere around April of each year. You know that month when you remember “oh, I did make a resolution.” But this year I decided to do things differently. I decided to allow, what I call my inner mind, to guide these resolutions. Charles and I at the end of 2012 went through our life structures and made a few goals for each area but individually I worked on my inner space and who I was being called to be.

Authenticity allows us to be a transformational presence in the world. A presence that inspires and gives ourselves and others permission to be our best self ™ to live a life of excellence, vision and discipline. Transformational presence allows us to live in an attitude of discovery versus close mindedness. It allows us access and tap into our potential, learn from the future and close the gap between what we know and how we live.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. -Lao Tzu
The New Year collectively gives us an occasion to make a resolution, a firm decision to do something meaningful. It’s an opportunity for our evolution—change, growth and progress. Imagine a little green vine on the side of a tree in springtime. It turns to the light, receiving full support to thrive—growing strong roots, blossoming and bearing rich fruit. Regardless of the winds, rains and other unpleasant encounters, it reaches for the light. Can you imagine a plant turning away from the light? It’s normal and natural to turn towards the light, to receive as much life-giving energy as possible.

God said, I am made whole by your life. Each soul, each soul completes me. – Hafiz
Sometimes as we move up the ladder of successful living, it becomes more and more important that we be liked and admired. Our ego finds it advantageous to say and do what pleases others at the sacrifice of our own authenticity. We become people pleasers and lets face it, it does seem to have its rewards. If I agree with you and do what you like, I’ve convinced myself that you will love me and accept me. Then I’m home free or so I think.
