When first trying to receive the present moment there might be boredom. But just below boredom is the experience of stillness.

While becoming more authentic, you may find that you end up discarding many people who don't respect the real you. It may also happen that society does not accept you either. Acceptance from either party should not effect your internal state if you have mastered self love.

There are many things society may expect out of you. You may feel obligated to be a certain way based on what your family or friends or coworkers think. You don't have to listen to these expectations and you don't have to feel obligated. You are free to live in alignment with your true expression.

The only way to ease internal resistance is to learn to work with the internal mechanism. Most people bottle up all of their trauma and frustration and compensate for it in dysfunctional ways. This keeps the entire game of suffering going. The end of suffering comes when one is willing to sit with this pain totally free of judgement.

By suspending what you think you know for one moment, you allow in the reality of what is.

There are subtle ways in which the ego can distort one's perception. For example, the ego will never take responsibility for anything negative in one's life. If we desire improvement in our situations, we must shed the protection of the ego. This means taking full responsibility.

Don't become complacent. Always strive to grow and progress personally. Many people in this world become sick and miserable from bad attitudes and laziness. Instead be up for the challenge of life and become great. You owe it to yourself.

Gratitude and happiness go hand and hand. Focus on what you do have instead of dwelling on what you lack.

Society acts like a herd of sheep being led this way or that without independent thought. Social engineers profit off of this type of behavior. They design our environment in such a way that steers us away from independence and free thinking. So for most of us, our authentic self is covered in societal conditioning. The key to unlocking the authentic self is to question this conditioning.

Freedom isn't for quitters. There are no days off on this path. Those in history that gave us the chance at freedom today had to be unrelenting, there was no other way. We must follow their lead.

The only way out is in. So tenacity for achieving internal freedom is also necessary. Manifesting infinite power to change the external starts within. The effort must be sustained.
