Authentic life
+++++++++++++++++++
Don’t spend your day convincing other people how much you care. Spend your day putting your care into action.
Stop exerting your energy to prove how much you know. Continually invest your energy in learning something new.
Operate on the level of reality, not at a pretentious distance from it. Rather than obsessively seeking to appear a certain way, do what is necessary to actually be that way.
An authentic life is far more satisfying for you, as well as more helpful to others, than living behind a facade. A life of authenticity puts the power of truth into everything you do.
It is better to have truth leading you than to have truth chasing you. Work to put real substance in your life rather than fraudulent and fragile appearances.
Align your awareness and your choices with what is real, with what is true, with what is you. Live with the authenticity that will free you to experience life at its best.
