In Part 1 I was talking about the belief in yourSelf. Today I want to show you the importance of being authentic.
Authenticity
Success is not simply getting approval and a shining figurine for your showcase.
It is to act and unfold your life from a place in your heart, where the potential and power of your self have been lying since you were born into this world. As soon as you act out of the nature of your being, you will be lavished with approval, honoring, and compliments. The difference is that you don’t necessarily need it anymore since your success has already been felt in simply doing what you are. When you do what you are, you are authentic. Authenticity radiates strength. And this true strength is what people like. Strength lets others feel comfortable in your presence. They want to be with you and want to be embraced by the radiation of your positive and uplifting energy. When you are authentic, real, and pure, then you are transparent. People will believe you and get inspired to live their own dreams and get successful in leading a fulfilled life in alignment with who they really are.
If you want to be respected, you need to respect who you are in the first place. Accept yourSelf with everything you are today. Show empathy for yourSelf. Be tolerant of yourSelf. Just love yourSelf the way you are. Today you are the best you ever with everything that lies inside of you. All your feelings, experiences, desires, knowledge, and behaviors have created this unique you, who you are. There is no one like you in the whole world and that makes you so special. Be proud of who you are. Cherish who you are. In loving yourSelf and the resulting authenticity you give others permission to do the same. In how you live your life you are always an example to others. The more authentic you are the more others feel liberation in being fearlessly authentic as well.
Say this affirmation and pass it on:
I am a shining being of God and I am here to bring light into the world.
Next week I am going to write about: Love, what you do!
In Love and Light
Share Your Light 
This is so beautiful Erika. A lot of problems stem from the fact that people do not give themselves that respect – that’s the first step to becoming a better you. Lovely post. I seemed to have missed this..post. i went looking for Part 1 and then saw this. I seem to have read posts after this one, strange😆😆

I totally agree Erika. If you cannot be true to yourself then you can never be true to anybody else. You cannot live a full life if it is all a lie.

Exactly, if we try to be everybody’s darling it will never work because we are not who we are but who we think others want us to be. But everybody wants us different… so no chance to fulfill that but we will get completely lost.

Wholeheartedly agree, Erika. If you are not being who you truly are, then who are you? I love this. Be you, be who were created to be, that light filled being of God.

Thank you, Erika. I had to learn to let go seeing life with a natural mind and physical eyes. I try to be spiritually minded and look at life through God’s eyes and heart. I’m learning daily.

You are so right. This way to look at life is the only one that brings true peace and happiness. This way we perceive life from a higher perspective and understand contexts or simply accept how things are, since everything has a reason.

Thank you. A closed mind will spend a lifetime walking in darkness. Open ourselves to God’s light and love will open the door to a new life, full of light and a clearer perspective.

So true… this crucial opening door 🙂 We need to let go of the one that has closed in order to even see the opening one.

Thank you, Merryn! So happy you like it! I posted the whole series one year ago. I had only about 30 or 40 followers at that time. I thought it makes sense to post it again.

That is wonderful, Himali. I am so happy that there was something in for you. Your comment shows me the sense of what I am doing. It is that way, we have to accept who we are because who we are is the spring board to who we become.
