How to live an authentic life and make it count

is never authentic. Always choose to be you, authentically following your own inner self, rather than anyone else's artificially constructed rules, or norms of expected behaviour patterns. This is the only way to ensure that you are always being authentically you, and not self sabotaging yourself out of being the real you, through fear of others, and also through fear of being the real you.

Now is all of this entirely true, and balanced in approach? This is a question I am asking myself around here, in my presentation of these ideas about being yourself authentically. To be totally self directed, assumes that all only ever revolves around me. If I take this idea to the extreme, then nobody else's opinion is valid, or counts for me in a relevant way.

This would all imply that only my idea of me, is truth, or my truth. Isn't this a segregation, and separating process, rather than a rejoining, and a combining with others, with love? It is an adversarial approach, rather than conciliatory. Although I can see the truth in there somewhere, and that it is indeed true, that we do need to be ourselves entirely, as much as we can be. But we can be ourselves, even as we be another person, and walk in their shoes with compassion, and understanding, without fawning or grassing them, or trying to impress to them that we are someone other than who we really are.

What then is the right approach to take here? Where does the truth lie here?

Your higher self is always operating as you. The fear in you is what removes, or breaks this continual contact with your higher self. Loving is what restores it. It is that simple. Never worry too much about all of this other stuff.

If your only considering your own weaknesses all of the time, it is also only really a reflection of your lower self, and shows to you that your actually living from there too, and ignoring your higher self. Learn to recognise these approaches of fear bringing weakness to you, and then act still with love for yourself, with added strength of conviction in yourself and as your higher self, authentically now.

When you are being your higher self with love, there is never then any weakness.

Being yourself gives strength, and acts from a real strength, and which is only love. You are always the strongest that you have ever been in your life up until now, right now. Act from all of this strength, and don't return to contemplate weakly about your other perceived weaknesses, and which are never really yours, but only reflections
