So just what is your "Best Self?" What does it mean to be your best in authenticity? Some identify being authentic with being more relaxed and casual about how they interact. I wonder if one can be relaxed, authentic, intentional, and mindful while experiencing themselves in best self mode. I am not quite sure I have it all figured out. However, I do know that living your best life in authenticity means the avoidance of compromising your values, it also means being intentional about what you allow in and also what you put out to share with the world that represents the best in and of you. It's individual and it's based on our frame of reference and the values we sincerely hold. We are all in different parts of our journey so we need to steer clear of comparison and judgement. So, I don't think bringing our best self in authenticity requires apology. In so much as it is within us, i think we can be our best selves and live peaceably, and shine brightly, illuminating the space and time we are inhabiting. So today, I challenge you to really think about what it is for you to live in authenticity and putting your best self out there to be a best self beacon for others while enjoying your best life. Who are we trying to kid if we apologize for behavior and actions that are allegedly our "authentic best." Let's stop kidding ourselves and let's bring forth our best, our imperfect best...and continue with forward momentum from there. Don't be fooled that authenticity is or must be shocking, the power in authenticity is that it attracts others because authenticity touches the heart and soul. Live intentionally, authentically, and fully - Be Your Best Self on Purpose without need for apology!
