#019 Be Authentic


Listen Later

You are an undisputed original. You are authentic and there’s none like you. Today, Garth talks about being authentically you and what it really means to be original.
He breaks down what it means to be authentic and why it’s essential to recognise who you really are in life, so you can be successful, do the things you want to do and achieve your goals and dreams. Being authentic means to be of undisputed origin and not a copy. To be genuine.
“Be the change that you want to see”
KEY TAKEAWAYS
It doesn’t matter how old you are, there’s always going to be someone around telling you how to act, what to believe and how you should conduct yourself. There will always be someone around telling you what to do and how to do it. So be original, be you.
Being authentic means when all is said and done, you are undisputedly you. There’s no doubt of your originality. But sometimes we forget ourselves and we listen to others perceived intellect and we let it affect us and let it change us.
When we are beating ourselves up and wishing to be like someone else we are wasting our precious time. If you want to emulate someone's success, that’s great. But do it in your own way. Don’t be pushed or bullied or coerced into a decision, listen to yourself because you are an undisputed original.
BEST MOMENTS
“Move to the beat of your own drum.”
“Nobody knows you like you”
“Be wary of where you’re getting your advice from and filter it.”
