Have you ever seen a bird struggle to fly, a flower struggle to bloom or a star struggle to shine? Why then are humans struggling so much?
There are primarily three reasons for this:
• You have been conditioned since childhood—by parents, teachers, and peers—so you have learned to comply instead of being yourself
• You are fearful—you feel within that you are not good enough; therefore, if you become true, people will see your faults
• You have a scarcity mentality—you feel that if you are true, people will know everything about you and take advantage of you.
If you let go of all these unnecessary inhibitions, you begin to fly like a bird, bloom like a flower, and shine like a star – so natural and effortless!
Being authentic means being genuine and original. In other words, being the real you! This should be a piece of cake yet so difficult for most people.
