Why is it so difficult to be authentic and to shine your light? The following are some of the reasons:

·        We’re conditioned to follow a certain set of beliefs set by our parents, our peers, our teachers, society. So we begin to live what other people tell us.

·        We feel we are not good enough. So if we become authentic, we won’t be liked or loved enough.  So we shy away from it. We hold back because of fear and forget that we are nature’s greatest miracle.

·        Scarcity or Vulnerability– If I become authentic, people will know who I am and they will take advantage of me.  So I hide who I am; I pretend to be somebody else.

If you let go of all these unnecessary inhibitions, you fly like a bird, shine like a star, and bloom like a flower – so natural and so effortless.
