Sometimes, you just gotta stop drinking the kool-aid. Wake up. It’s time to live. Make changes in your life. Get out of the box, trapezoid, octagon – whatever shape you stuck in – get outta there and don’t ever go back. Decide to thrive and no longer just exist. Make authenticity your #currentmood all the time. Choose growth, all the time, every time. Don’t be different; do different.

What I Know To Be True
Just when you find that sweet spot in life, that comfortable place, that uncanny familiar, change comes in like a flaming bat out of hell and whirlwinds all your comfortable up. If you’re limited in your thinking you’ll fight it every way you can. But, if you’re ready to grow, you’ll embrace change like a new love and let it lead you to growth you could never dream of but always sensed you desperately needed.
What Do You Need to Find?
Bold challenges, my friend. Do you think people really know what authenticity looks like? I ask myself that a lot.
I think authenticity is felt internally by one’s self and felt externally by those around you. Kids and animals are really good at picking up on authentic souls. And kids for sure know how to tell you any and everything about what they think and feel about the world, including you. We could take some notes from them. They are authentic because as kids they have nothing to lose. It seems the younger we are the more honest we are. The older we get the more unrevelatory we become.
