What does it mean to live authentically? Survey 100
people and you'll definitely get varied opinions on what
that "authentic" living means...but truthfully, for me it
can be summed up in a few short words...."Living my life
the way I see fit, following my dreams and desires" and
not allowing any obstacle to stop me from achieving my
goals!
Most people give up when the going gets tough, and it really
doesn't matter what the situation is. Perserverance isn't
something that can be taught. I believe it is a character trait
that you either have or you don't! Thankfully I have always
been one to go after what I want in life. Does that mean that
things don't get in my way? Absolutely not....there have been
and will continue to be obstacles in my path throughout the
rest of my life, but I will not bow to them and stop because
something gives the appearance of being insurmountable!
Maybe the name my Uncle Bob gave me as a young girl helped
me to be who I am today...Miss Independence! Always the rebel,
never really caring what others thought about my going off the
beaten path. Life has a way of showing you the things you are most
focused upon. If you do not like what you are seeing in the moment,
realize that has shown up due to your past thoughts and actions and
if you do not want more of the same in your future, then pay no
attention to it, whatever that "it" is! It is a task at first to really look
for things you want in your life, especially when they are not in your
"now" moments but it is exactly that focus on the good things that you
do want that will draw them toward you! I don't know about anyone
else but me, but when I focus on the abundance all around me even
when the appearance of a current moment shows lack, I begin to find
more evidence of abundance showing up in my future moments....those
moments forward ( if there is such a thing) of the now!
Live authentically? I wouldn't live my life any other way!
