To be authentic takes courage. Your true authentic self is buried under layers of conditioning and learned behaviors. It takes courage to peel off those layers, dive deep to who you really are, and allow your true self to come out.

We have this subconscious belief and program that we need to show up as someone so that people will accept us. That is also one of our basic human instincts, which is to belong, which is to fit in, which is to be accepted. But we all have the ability to listen to the little nudges of our souls. If we learn how to listen - to listen to our heart, to listen to the little nudges of our soul, we can discover who we really are.

Every next level of your upleveling process, every next level version, requires you to step up in a next level of mindset, heartset, and soulset. Look at how you're showing up in every part of your life especially when nobody's watching. Start tweaking and making little shifts. You'll see the shift in other parts of your life. And, slowly you'll learn how to give yourself permission to really own your flaws, to really own your imperfections, and to embrace your authenticity.
