Really? What is living authentically anyway? I thought I was living alright to begin with. This past week I was in a rare mood hard to explain but in a funk. That's what I wanted to label it. The funny thing was that I wasn't miserable just melancholy and needing personal time. I found that during this time I had the best creative ideas I was writing more and it felt awesome. A friend said to me "Denise you are living authentically and that is awesome!!" I was. The flip side of it was that it can come off as cocky and arrogant or go ahead being called a bitch. If that is what living authentically is can people in our lives take it? Would they want to hear what you have to say or would you need to tone it down? I hate it when you need to act different with certain people because you don't want to hurt their feelings. Why do we do that? It's crazy. When this spark does show up I love it but do my friends and family love it as much as I do? Is it intimidating? Maybe so. I feel comfortable in that state and I want to embrace it more. I guess it's coming into my own and feeling that I am not willing to flip and flop for people anymore. It's alot of wasted energy. If people have a problem with it...it's their issue not mine and I know that. Can this side of our personalities work for us in our careers? I think so. You will attract the right people that will want to work with you because of the way you are. Let's embrace that side of us and learn to have fun with it. It doesn't have to been seen as a negative use it to your advantage. Why disguise it. I always love your feedback. Are you living authentically or in disguise?
