Authenticity Quotes

“We can either fear the storm because we’re attempting to HOLD ON to the things that it’s blowing away or we can trust the storm because it’s showing us how to LET GO of the things that don’t serve us. Nothing REAL can be lost.”

“To be REAL means waking up. Waking up to the inner-truth of who we are and what drives us. It requires an honest look in the mirror to acknowledge that we are not perfect. Waking up means we are willing to transform ourselves from fear-based mindsets and behaviors to become a better person than who we are today. Becoming a REAL leader requires authenticity, humility, caring, transparency, and discernment. Robertson, Susan. Real Leadership: Waken To Wisdom. The Books Factory. Kindle Edition.”

“Like a Columbus of the heart, mind and soul I have hurled myself off the shores of my own fears and limiting beliefs to venture far out into the uncharted territories of my inner truth, in search of what it means to be genuine and at peace with who I really am. I have abandoned the masquerade of living up to the expectations of others and explored the new horizons of what it means to be truly and completely me, in all my amazing imperfection and most splendid insecurity.”

We may fear hurting others or stepping into the unknown. ... Outgrowing a life does not diminish its value. The job you leave taught you skills. The relationship you end gave you memories. ... Lives we outgrow are not discarded; they are chapters that brought us to this page”

“My darling, you are not weak for wearing your heart on your sleeve. In fact, there is nothing stronger than that. In a world full of people keeping themselves walled off so they may play it safe, play the field, play it cool.

“The choice to be oneself requires courage and vulnerability as you put yourself out there for the world to judge and cast aspersion on you. It is far easier to copy others and risk standing out, but that path leads to unhappiness as you say No to yourself and Yes to others. I chose to be authentic, to be real and to know that I do not let the opinions of others define who I am or limit my greatness.”

“I have loved and never told him. I have loved and told him and got hurt. I have been loved and I haven’t loved back. I have loved and he has loved and then I have changed my mind. I have been single and wanted to love. I have been fearful and fearless. Doubtful and trusting. Ecstatic and devastated. I have been an eat-macaroni-and-cheese-from-a-box kind of eater. I have been vegetarian. Vegan. Gluten-free. Not gluten-free. Raw foodist. Vegan, but not raw. I have been a vegan who eats eggs. And then doesn’t eat eggs. I have been a juice faster. And a rejector of juice fasts. I have said I eat healthy. And then I have said I eat whatever the f*ck I want and it’s none of your business. (That last one’s been the best.) I have been a gymnast. A runner. A dancer. I have been injured and forgot what I was anymore. I have been a walker. A yogi. A Pilates aficionado. A trampoline jumper. A push-up-doer. I have rested. I have said I am one thing and, it turns out, I am not. Or that I was that thing, but that thing isn’t true for me any longer. This is okay. It’s all okay.”
