The Real You
Writer’s Note: This article was inspired from the article Unmistakable Habits of Utterly Authentic People by the award-winning co-author of the #1 bestselling book, Emotional Intelligence 2.0, Dr. Travis Bradberry.
To be authentic, simply you have to be TRUE to yourself and to other people. Well, in this manner an AUTHENTIC person DOES.
Variety of people is roaming in our society— in the world we chose to live in. Indeed, external forces might tell you to do something you are not capable of and comfortable of doing or to be someone you’re not, either. Well it may not be simple but give it a try- BE AUTHENTIC AS YOU ARE.
Authentic people live with their true selves. They live a life comfortable of who they are and what they want. They do not push others to live authentically rather their authenticity gives other people the liberty to live authentically too. Get rid of negative people is what their mantra says. They have too much self-respect to people try to change them drastically, treat them badly, have ill will towards them or chant cursed words behind them, it’s not that they do the same thing tho it’s a NO!, because authentic people let go—not out of anger, but out of their need to be true to themselves.
Authentic people do not live a “go with the flow” lifestyle. They make their selves unique to others. They are not capable of acting in a way that’s contrary to what their principles dictate, even if there are repercussions. Because of their authenticity, lying to other people and lying to their selves is their long life conscience. This means that they’re willing to live with the repercussions of staying true to themselves. Also authentic people have a full pack of confidence because they don’t have the fear that someone will discover something in them. Unlike people who are afraid that someone will reveal their flaws so they pretend to be good and nice but to authentic people none of these mattered, because they have nothing to hide. What you see is what you get, who they appear to be is who they really are.
Nonsense talks have no bearing to them. Authentic people prefer deep and meaningful conversations which state the fact that they do not speak of other people because they have a great respect to person’s belief, orientation and attitude. They are driven with passion and don’t just sit when problem arouses. They definitely think out of the box and that’s kind of attitude made them stand out to others. They don’t leave the problem hanging nor complain about it. Moreover, they do not definitely blame other people or to someone else’s fault, they just simply accountable for their actions. Also they do not upset their selves if someone doesn’t like them. Most people try to fix their self or until the ticking of the clock stops trying to figure out what they did wrong. Accepting oneself is what authentic people solemnly believe. If someone doesn’t like you, let it be for it is never too late to meet new companion. Even if the feeling of other is negative towards them, still authentic people don’t have the anxiety and would never try to change themselves to influence and please someone else’s opinion and belief. They manage to accept that other people also have the right to be authentic about their own feelings.
People who weren’t true to themselves were so distraught that they felt a strong desire to cleanse themselves physically and after these hypocrisy goes after. Not sure if you’re authentic? Well your brain especially your heart knows.
