Authenticity: What and Why

Are you the person people avoid because they are tired of being pitched to by you?  You probably don’t mind because it’s just a numbers game, right?  Well, those numbers are people.  If you could connect with them in an authentic manner not only would they stop running from you, your numbers would improve, too!

Here’s the simple truth behind being authentic with others.  Being authentic simply means to be coming from a place of truth about yourself.  Before you can be authentic with other people, though, you need to start being authentic with yourself.  It’s a simple but ongoing process that eventually becomes a habit.

How to get started:

• Be willing are you to look deep inside yourself.
• Be willing are you to accept responsibility for what you find.
• Be willing to allow others to see what you’ve found.

By cultivating an awareness of your inner life, motivations, assumptions and perceptions of the world you begin to know yourself better.  How can anyone know the real you if you don’t?
