The Simplicity of Authenticity

You are who you are for a reason. There is a mission you can accomplish better than anyone else, one that uses your unique gifts and talents. Your purpose is calling. Will you answer?

It's easy to get lost in life. We defer to the expectations of others. We allow those in authority to define us. We feel grateful for the breadcrumbs they give us. But there comes a time when we feel a desire to rise up, to cast off our chains and become who we were born to be.

The gap between the life we are living and the life we are capable of living is a source of discomfort for many of us. It's easier to ignore it, sometimes, and pretend we are satisfied with a quiet existence. But living beneath our privileges exacts a costly toll. It comes at the price of being whole. It sickens the body and weakens the soul.

What lies beneath the roles you play? Mother, father, employee, boss, teacher, entrepreneur -- these are labels that many wear, but who is the person behind the label?

Your dreams exist for a reason. They are not foolish or impractical, as you may have told yourself over and over again. They are worth pursuing in spite of the risks.

You were meant to shine. You are more than the rhythm in someone else's rhyme. Step into your power. It's finally time.
