Live authentically and aligned with your true self from "summary" of How to Live by Judith Valente
Living authentically and aligned with your true self means being in tune with your innermost thoughts, feelings, and desires. It requires a deep sense of self-awareness and a willingness to embrace your unique identity without fear or hesitation. When you live authentically, you are not swayed by external pressures or societal expectations. Instead, you listen to your intuition and follow your heart, even when it leads you down a path that others may not understand or approve of. Authentic living is about being true to yourself in every aspect of your life – your relationships, your career, your passions, and your values. It means honoring your own needs and desires, rather than trying to fit into a mold that society has created for you. When you live authentically, you are not afraid to speak your truth, even if it means standing alone or facing criticism. You trust in your own judgment and have the courage to follow your own path, no matter where it may lead. Living in alignment with your true self means living a life that is congruent with your core beliefs and values. It requires making choices that reflect who you are at your core, rather than who you think you should be or who others want you to be. When you are aligned with your true self, you experience a sense of inner peace and fulfillment that cannot be found by seeking validation or approval from others. You are grounded in your own truth and find strength in your authenticity.- Even when it is difficult or unpopular. When you live authentically, you are able to create deep and meaningful connections with others, based on honesty and openness. You attract people into your life who resonate with your true essence, and you are able to inspire and uplift those around you by shining brightly as your authentic self.
