Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It's about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen. (p. 49.2) “Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you really need to do, in order to have what you want.” ~Margaret Young 08/08: Message: Guidepost #2: Cultivating Self-Compassion: Letting Go of Perfectionism We don’t claim shame. You can’t believe how many times I’ve heard that! I know shame is a daunting word. The problem is that when we don’t claim shame, it claims us. And one of the ways it sneaks into our lives is through perfectionism. (p. 56.2) “The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.” ~Anna Quindlen 08/15: Message: Guidepost #3: Cultivating A Resilient Spirit: Letting Go of Numbing and Powerlessness Resilience is the ability to overcome adversity. Psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers to clergy and criminal justice researchers want to know why and how some folks are better at bounding back from hardship than others. “She could never go back and make some of the details pretty. All she could do was move forward and make the whole beautiful.” ~Terri St. Cloud 08/22: Message: Guidepost #4: Cultivating Gratitude and Joy: Letting Go of Scarcity and Fear of the Dark A good example is the way that love and belonging go together. Now I understand that in order to feel a true sense of belonging, I need to bring the real me to the table and that I can only do that if I’m practicing self-love. (p. 77.2) “Joy seems to me a step beyond happiness. Happiness is a sort of atmosphere you can live in sometimes when you’re lucky. Joy is a light that fill you with hope and faith and love.” ~Adela Rogers St. Johns 08/29: Message: Guidepost #5: Cultivating Intuition and Trusting Faith: Letting Go the Need For Certainty DIG Deep: Get Deliberate, Get Inspired, Get Going “Intuition is not a single way of knowing – it’s our ability to hold space for uncertainty and our willingness to trust the many ways we’ve developed knowledge and insight, including instinct, experience, faith, and reason. Faith is a place of mystery, where we find the courage to believe in what we cannot see and the strength to let go of our fear of uncertainty.” ~Brene Brown Rev.
