Or are you more of an actor playing a role?
Becoming the real authentic version of yourself is a journey of bravery.
When you start on the path of personal development work, or certainly, when you get to the real deep stuff, you begin to realise that some of your behaviours are not really who you are — or who you want to be.
Sometimes you realise that you don’t like yourself very much — or perhaps that you don’t like your life.
Sometimes you begin to feel compromised in your truth — and you feel like you can’t live with yourself anymore.
Maybe you feel like you can’t speak up — for fear of judgement, ridicule or criticism.
Maybe you feel afraid to change — in case people don’t like you anymore or you lose friends or relationships.
Or maybe you are simply afraid to change — because you don’t know what that will look like
At a certain stage, the journey to becoming Authentically You contains a choice point, and while some get to flourish and evolve through that point, others “Do Not Pass Go or Collect $200”.
Even when they’ve walked the personal development path for some time when they get to this choice point they just can’t proceed.
Instead, these people turn around and go back to the version of themselves that they’ve known themselves as (probably for most of their lives) because it feels easier… but there are consequences to this that not so many people realise.
People (especially those who are going through some level of spiritual awakening) have commonly said to me: What if I don’t like the new version of myself?
In my experience, people usually come back to me and say: Oh my goodness! What was I ever worried about? I should have done this sooner! I LOVE my true authentic version SO MUCH MORE!
Yes! Becoming authentically you is actually all about self love.
So the question then becomes: How much do you love yourself and are you willing to strip everything back in order to become the most authentic (and amazing!) version of yourself?
