As revelers of authenticity, we understand the significance of being true to ourselves. We choose to embrace our authenticity in all aspects of our lives, especially in our relationships. It's through this commitment to genuine self-expression that we find profound connections, experience complete validation, and lead by example.

Have you ever found yourself in a job that doesn't resonate with your authentic self? It's a common scenario—staying in a role that pays the bills but doesn't ignite your passions. Your work should be a space where your authenticity can flourish. Though, too often, we silence our inner voices, telling ourselves it's for the sake of stability.
1. What are the moments in your current job where you feel you're not being true to yourself?
2. What steps can you take to bring more of your authentic self into your work?

Leadership can also impact the authenticity of a team. As a manager or business owner, are you fostering an environment that encourages your employees to bring their whole selves to work? Or do you stick to a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach? True authenticity in the workplace requires embracing individual strengths and ideas.
1. Think about your current leadership style. Does it encourage authenticity in your team members?
2. How can you adapt your leadership to empower others to be more authentic and contribute their unique talents?

In personal relationships, we sometimes sacrifice our own happiness to maintain the illusion of an intact family. But, in reality, the children can sense when something is amiss. They may grow up believing that authenticity means compromise instead of embracing their true selves.
1. In your personal relationships, have you ever felt you were compromising your authenticity for the sake of others?
2. What could change in your relationships to allow you and your loved ones to express your true selves more freely?

On a personal note, one night, I had an experience that demonstrated the power of trust and belief in authenticity. I felt a presence at our bedroom door and shared this with my partner. Instead of dismissing my words, he responded by asking about her intentions. It was a profound moment of mutual trust in embracing the authentic experiences of our lives.
1. Can you recall a time when someone close to you showed unwavering trust in your authenticity?
2. How can you extend the same trust and belief in the authentic experiences of those around you?

1 年1.- I would say the role I currently am in has helped develop my skills and experience for the industry. However I do know my skill set isn’t being utilized to its fullest potential. That’s one way I know I’m not being true within myself however that is set to change in the future! Am excited to see how things develop and what opportunities are in store for me. 2.) I daily strive to bring more and more authenticity I don’t always get it right. Different types of jobs or people will have a different expectation. Or hat for me to wear. However I do look for windows of opportunity to be myself genuinely throughout my day. 3.) I don’t think I’ve really compromised my authentic self for others. There have been sacrifices made which I’d say is a given. 4.) this is a daily occurrence along with sacrificial living that’s one thing we are called to do as we live out our faith and lives. By doing so allows for that to be expressed and providing care for one another.
