Authentic people are simple, but there are 4 specific needs that need to be met in order for them to thrive...

1) Simplicity

Authentic people value intangible rewards a lot more than the appearance of a lavish lifestyle. They ensure they will have a high quality of life for as long as they can sustain it.

They need to be grounded and this is reflected in their effort towards maintaining their health and achieving internal contentment.

2) Creative Self-Expression

Having spent a lot of time tapping into their potential and cultivating their natural gifts, authentic people have A LOT of gifts to share with the world.

To not express them would not only be a disservice to the world, but it would feel like holding back a tsunami with a beach towel. They NEED to express the creativity within them.

3) Honesty

Although it's hard to be completely honest ALL the time, for authentic individuals, they struggle to function without being grounded in truth.

They even avoid the small lies we tell ourselves to make ourselves feel better, because they know that the only way to grow is by aligning their perception with reality.

4) Community

Community is a place where individuals can go to receive support, but it's also a place where they can go to give of themselves.

Authentic people jump at the chance to use their gifts to empower others. So they not only thrive in communities, but they have a deep need to be a part of one.
