Authenticity Quotes

“If you were raised in an environment where emotion was minimized, seen as weakness, invalidated, shut down, perceived as wasteful (e.g., crying won’t help), or even punished, then giving yourself permission to feel, recognize, and explore may be a bigger challenge. You might be the first person in your life to grant yourself the permission you need to experience emotion. If you’re worried that giving permission to experience and engage with emotion will turn you into something you’re not or someone you don’t want to become—it won’t. It will, however, give you the opportunity to be your most authentic self. We are wired to be emotional beings. When that part of us is shut down, we’re not whole.”

“We pass through many different stages in our spiritual and personal evolution, and each stage brings its own support — both visible and invisible. Some things that were once deeply cherished may no longer hold our interest. Their value hasn’t declined, but their relevance to us has. Go with the flow. Synchronicity knows what is best. Every teacher is a gift. When the moment has passed, the gift remains, woven into who we are.”

“We are not here to rush through life or fast-track to enlightenment. We are here to feel what it’s like to grow, to shift, to evolve over time. That slowness, that unfolding, is not a flaw. It’s the gift. The process of change is where the richness of being human lies. By experiencing evolution, we come to know ourselves in a different, deeper, broader, and more profound way.”

“His decisive split with the world in which he grew rich and famous is a modern example of alchemical Separation, in which the initiate is forced to take an objective look at his life from the highest perspective and get rid of that which does not serve the deeper purpose of his existence.”

“If you trust in Nature, in the small Things that hardly anyone sees and that can so suddenly become huge, immeasurable; if you have this love for what is humble and try very simply, as someone who serves, to win the confidence of what seems poor: then everything will become easier for you, more coherent and somehow more reconciling, not in your conscious mind perhaps, which stays behind, astonished, but in your innermost awareness, awakeness, and knowledge. - Mitchell translation”

“By the weight of his power, a ruler may wield the illusion of greatness. But the greatest among us never sat upon the throne, yet his spirit guided a nation more deeply than any who did — through the quiet strength of character, the courage of conviction, and the authentic love of the people. He reigned, yet never ruled — and that is the hallmark of greatness.”

“The second thing about authenticity and creating loving relationships to yourself, to others and to life is to learn to listen to yourself and your feelings. The hypocrisy of the society is to teach you to not listen to yourself, to your feelings, and to not show your true face. So each individual becomes like an island, closed and separated. From early childhood, we have been taught to suppress the real. In unconscious and mechanical ways, we go on suppressing, without knowing what we are doing. Listen to the heart, and whatsoever is true, bring it out. And once you know how to be true, it will be so joyful and beautiful that you will never go back to being false. Be true to yourself, that is the basic responsibility towards yourself. You are answerable to your own being. This is the whole problem: how to be yourself. Then life becomes a beautiful mystery to be loved, and not a problem to be solved.”

“In Zen, there is an old saying: The obstacle is the path. Know that a whole and happy life is not free of obstacles. Quite the contrary, a whole and happy life is riddled with obstacles-they simply become the very stepping-stones that help lift us to a new perspective. It is not what happens to us in this life that shapes us, it is how we choose to respond to what happens to us.”

“Turn off notifications for a day, log out for a while, go for a walk in the real world, mindfully appreciate the taste of your coffee for a change, unplug. Read a book, people-watch, have a face-to-face conversation with an actual human being, and remember that there’s much more to life than likes and followers, selfies and influencers, thank goodness.”
