Here I am, again. Grateful to be with visitors of this inn. The following gallery is about authen-ticity, one of my favorite subjects.
It is necessary for any relationship to enjoy depth or trust. Do not believe what a person says. Only trust in their behavior. It reveals a person's
genuine priorities.
With the second poster, an important issue is broached: what type of connection do we have with another if we can't be honest?
If I am a blue chameleon because I am with other people who are blue. I will feel like a fraud, not authen-tic, if I am actually a green chameleon when I am alone, by myself. They are accepting and applauding an image of myself that does not reflect who I really am.
It requires a strong person to be vulnerable. Anyone can be a tough walnut, emotional-ly. To put ourselves out there, where others could stomp on us, violating our sense of well-being requires tremendous inner strength.
As we become more comfortable with our likes, dislikes, dreams, wants and choices. we become increasingly open to the disapproval of others. We are comfortable in our own skin, true to our values.
Our authenticity and inner peace grows when we are internally referented. This is paying attention to what we feel, want, believe, and our perspective, even if it differs with the opinions of others.
There are three sources that extrude us into codependency, which is the opposite of revealing our true selves. They are the church, schools and our family. We want to make time to check in with our feelings and needs.
We want to avoid putting everyone else's needs before ours.
