Authenticity is Not a Destination But a Journey

By Carolyn Kates, Clarity with Carolyn

We all have a side of ourselves that we show to the world, and then there’s the part that we keep hidden – our inner world. Sometimes, these two selves don’t quite match up, usually resulting in us feeling isolated, disconnected, and inauthentic.

Today, the Universe wants us to begin aligning the two sides of ourselves, because that alignment is the key to a harmonious life. To align the two sides of you, you will need to be brutally honest with yourself. This means acknowledging your fears, insecurities, hopes, and dreams. It can be tough to face these truths, but it’s an essential step towards living an authentic life.

When you’re honest with yourself about who you are and what you want, you’ll find it much easier to present this genuine self to others.

When what you post on your social media account truly matches who you genuinely are, you will feel more whole and connected to the world around you.

And, during these times of self-examination, it’s crucial to be kind to yourself. Beating yourself up over these missteps won’t help. In fact, it often pushes us further away from our true selves. 

Authenticity is Not a Destination But a Journey

The truth is, authenticity is not a destination but a journey – a continuous process of self-discovery and growth. And while this journey may look different for everyone, one thing remains constant – the profound sense of peace and fulfillment that comes from living in alignment with your true self.

So, today, create some time to look within and you’ll discover a world within you that’s waiting to be shared with the world outside. 

Just for today, I am willing to share my inner self with the world. I am gentle, kind and comforting to my inner child as I uncover and release old negative messages within me. I am safe and I am willing to change.

And so it is.
