Day 75 ~ Authentic

It's incredible how much of what we do is driven by the image we want to portray. Yet, we all have sides that we wish to hide from others. In a personal development class I took three years ago, I heard for the first time the expression "being authentic." We spent hours deciphering our hidden agendas, the true motivators for our actions. Authentic people are not ashamed of being seen as they truly are. They do have things they are not proud of, but they strive to align who they are with who they want to be. I am more authentic now than a year ago, but I have a lot to develop in that realm.
