Without authenticity, we have nothing, and we are nothing. People live in fear. Fear of what people will think of them, how they perceive them, the judgments of others.
And then they conform to those opinions, perceptions, and judgments. You have to be your own person. You have to live your own life. And you're not going to be able to do either if you can't think your own thoughts and speak your own words.
Don't be consumed with what other people think, how they look at you, how they perceive you, how they judge you. Do they approve of you? Do they accept you? Who gives a shit? The only thing that matters is that you approve of yourself, that your perception and judgments of yourself are aligned with your thoughts and your words.
Every day you have to live your truth. It's impossible to live your truth if you're trying to live the truth of others. Be your own person.
Speak your own words. Think your own thoughts. And if people aren't comfortable with that, that's their problem.
