Five Principles

In order to utilize the power of authenticity in your life as a way to enhance your relationships, increase your fulfillment, and empower yourself,

here are five key principles:


1) Know Yourself -

Make a commitment to your own personal growth.

Discover more of who you are.

And, seek out and allow the support,

honest feedback, and guidance of others.



2) Transform Your Fear

- There's nothing wrong with having fear,

it's the resistance and denial of fear

that is the real problem.

When you admit, own, feel,

and express your fear,

you have the ability to move through it,

transform it, and utilize its power

in a positive way.

Taking action in the face of fear

is courageous and empowering.



3) Express Yourself

- Have the courage

to speak your truth boldly.

Deal with conflicts directly.

Express your emotions fully.

Be vulnerable and real

about what you think

and how you feel.

While on the surface

you may worry t

hat this will be seen as "weak,"

in actuality expressing yourself completely

gives you access to real freedom and power.



4) Be Bold

- Live, speak, and act with courage,

passion, and truth -

- even if it's difficult or scary.

Go for what you want

in your work and in your life.

And get back up

when you fall down,

which you will.

5) Celebrate Who You Are

- Appreciate and honor who you are,

what you do,

and the gifts and talents

that you have.

Celebrating yourself

is not about being arrogant.

It's an awareness

of your own power

and it's the key

to self confidence, fulfillment,

and authenticity.



Being your authentic self

is not for the faint of heart,

but once you're willing

to truly engage and do

the work to become more real -

- your life, your work,

and your relationships

will be more exciting,

meaningful, and fulfilling!
