What often makes our lives more difficult than necessary is our unwillingness to accept uncomfortable realities.

Authentic people have gone through that school, but have ultimately arrived at a place where they have made peace with...

1) Who they are

While most of us reject ourselves, wishing we were different or trying to be like others, authentic people have made peace with who they are.

They know that being a better version of themselves requires work, which they are willing to do, but they make peace with the many different versions they will evolve through on their way towards better.

2) What they have lived through

We have all lived through difficulty, but most of us don't stop for long enough to understand, make peace with it and actually move beyond our past.

Some of us get trapped in destructive cycles, some of us carve out a lifestyle based on escaping the past and others take it out on the rest of the world.

Authentic people don't allow their trauma to hold them hostage, rather they use it as a springboard to evolve into who they are supposed to be and move forwards.

3) Making small impact

Authenticity is popular in theory but unpopular in practice - it requires a degree discomfort that deters most people.

As a result, authentic people are aware that embodying their way of life and encouraging others to live by similar principles will only impact a select few individuals, and they have made peace with this.

Helping some is always better than helping none.

4) Their responsibilities

As well as being responsible for their own lives, authentic people have the added responsibility of helping to raise the state of humanity as well.

They have unique gifts, higher awareness and deeper understanding for a reason: they have the capacity to carry more.

It's a heavy weight to bear, but they have made peace with the fact that it is part of their collective responsibility.
