Most people have some level of resilience, but authentic people exhibit a degree of resilience that is completely unmatched because they...

1) Deal with more rejection

Being authentic is difficult, especially when the world rejects the authentic you and tries to force you into a box.

Still choosing the authentic you above the approval of others in spite of the challenges it brings takes a level of resilience many people struggle to maintain.

2) Walk a narrow path

The amount of willpower and strength it takes to ascend from a lesser version of yourself into your authentic self is colossal.

Facing unhealed parts of yourself is scary. Many times you may ask yourself whether it is even worth it, but pushing through regardless of doubts and emerging better on the other side shows a degree of resilience never required of an average person.

3) Have no other choice

When you initially decide to choose a different path and embrace authenticity, being your true self no longer feels optional.

Once you've seen the power of not wearing a mask, you will never allow yourself to wear one ever again. And going through the world without a mask on is rare and VERY difficult.

Authentic people know this and still choose to forge ahead anyway. If that's not resilience, then I don't know what is!

4) Experience more loneliness

Deciding to finally choose yourself is the beginning of a very lonely journey.

Loneliness is one of the most difficult parts of the human experience and despite this, authentic people accept this and turn their solitude into a strength.
