We are certainly not short of options, avenues, paths or lacking freedom as a modern western woman. This is one of the blessings of our time, we can literally create any kind of life we want to.
Sometimes though, this can be our undoing, the share volume of decisions we are confronted with day to day can leave us feeling paralysed when it comes to the big one. If spoken about a few cool ways to negotiate this issue here.
Authenticity is a mega-buzz-word in the spiritual/personal development circles.
Every day quotes on Instagram about it.
Social media is a perfect avenue for this new found freedom. We can do a no make-up selfie without a care in the world (although thank god some days they created filters!).
Inspiring yes, but at the same time is leaving us quite confused about what authenticity really is. Including myself. To the point where the word kinda started to bug me a little.
Truth be told, authenticity, whether I like the word or not, is sexy. When I meet someone who knows who they truly are and they live through that, it’s magnetic.
My husband is one of those cool cats. Which is why today I wanted to share a recent conversation we had on the subject. He shared with me what it looks like to live authentically, and how you can know when you’re being truly authentic. Thanks hubs.
About four years ago, at a personal development seminar, I stood up in front of a room of a hundred people (absolutely sweating) and declared that I wanted to be fearless.
At the time I felt like some kind of superhero, to be without fear was the dream.
Within the time of making my declaration, I’d made some pretty major changes in my life and I thought leaping in head first and showing fear who’s boss, would cure me of it’s grip.
Sadly not.
In fact I never became “fearless”.
Some of you might know of Albert Einstein.
There are some similarities between me and old Albert. Like me, he was a multi-passionate guy. You too?
Perhaps you didn’t know this because Einstein was most notable for his groundbreaking scientific theory. This is what we know well, but it’s not the full story.
I’m highly intrigued by what makes the ‘genius’ tick. It often has me reading about people waaay outside my field of work. (Side note: this is usually when the best discoveries happen). So when I started reading about the man with the crazy white hair, I discovered a whole other side to him I never knew.
The guy was extremely multi-passionate.
