Authenticity Quotes

“We are often told to just be ourselves but what does that really mean?...There is no 'just' in any of these statements, because it is hard. I think we are often told how to be; how to behave, how to look, what to believe, and there is no part of our lives that isn't put under scrutiny in this way. We all feel the pressure to conform. Sometimes it can be really challenging to be yourself, especially when it is at odds with the mainstream. I always showed up, but for a time, I masked how I really felt and what was important to me. I felt so stifled, it was as if I had chains wrapped around me. Looking back, I wish I could've been myself unconditionally from the get-go, but I was making decisions based on fear.”

“I had tried to stop my ambition, to hide it from myself because I was too afraid I would not get to satisfy it, that I’d be devastated, again. That I was too different to ever succeed. That I would never get to move what’s within me out into the world, a fate of perpetual frustration. I told myself this so much that I forgot to see: I am hungry. Maybe hunger is not pretty in a woman. Maybe a ferocious appetite is unbecoming. But, no, those are only lies we’ve been told. Let it out. There is a fire in the pit of me and I don’t care who sees it.”

“And such is life, it keeps showing up. However, we get to choose to be victims or victors, and the greatest achievement of all is to know yourself, to have your feet planted in the earth and your hands reaching for the sky, and to do your best to integrate that in everything you do.”

“The light the dark. The ebb and flow. This is life - there will be sunny days and there will be storms. But the power is in knowing who you are amongst it all and not lingering in any one place, just staying long enough to find your treasure and realizing it’s within you wherever you’re at.”

“This ‘reality’ is so obviously unreal. It’s like bad screenplay writing. No matter how many times you see the same tired script playing out on the world stage, if you can manage to think for yourself just a little, it’s simply not believable.”

“He said the jury noted these kinds of contradictions throughout Amber’s case—contradictions that accumulated week after week. They decided her story wasn’t just not believable, it was unbelievable, he said. “There are so many inconsistencies between what she said, what the pictures told and the story that was being prosecuted. There were so many holes in the story, it was hard for us to believe any of it.” The jury was made up of two women and five men. Tom said the women on the jury were tougher on Amber than the men. One male juror, whose name and juror number are unknown, spoke to Good Morning America soon after the verdict. He said Amber’s emotional testimony didn’t add up and they believed her to be the aggressor. “All of us were very uncomfortable . . . she would answer one question and she would be crying and two seconds later she would turn ice cold . . . some of us used the expression ‘crocodile tears.”

“NeuroFlex ACT carries a beautiful truth: your brain isn’t broken. It’s wonderfully capable of change, ready to help you live as your truest self. The science of neuroplasticity gives us incredible hope: those old patterns that feel heavy and permanent are simply learned reactions. With gentleness and patience, they can transform into chosen, values-aligned responses. You don’t have to fight yourself anymore. You can learn to move with life’s ups and downs, letting your deepest values guide you like a warm light through any storm. Each small, kind step you take toward what matters most isn’t just coping, it’s creating. This isn’t about fixing what’s wrong. It’s about discovering what’s already beautifully right within you, and letting it shine.”

“If we can do things to want nothing, do nothing, and become nothing whilst filling ourselves completely with life, then it’s probably pretty REAL; if we’re doing it to want ‘more’, do ‘more’, and become ‘more’, then we might be lapsing into being UNREAL.”
