Personal authenticity
Being authentic is something that nowadays we should value very much, since fashion and new lifestyles that are imposed on us can lead us to the acceptance of a loss of identity, that is why personal authenticity must be for us synonymous with originality, originality is given in us as that process of acceptance that allows us to accept ourselves as we are and not to seek the lines that want to take us to a field of loss of that originality that each of us carry intrinsically.
When we are original we do not care what people say, therefore there should be no complexes of any kind, however being authentic should not be misinterpreted as that behavior that encourages us to live in extremes, ie to neglect us both physically and mentally, and that when we are criticized for it we shield ourselves in the fact of saying that this is a way to be authentic.
Personal authenticity must be a highly developed concept in our minds and that leads us to understand that authenticity is a quality in which many of us can show ourselves as we really are, in the search for that inner self is where for nothing in the world we should pretend looking to be someone idealized or that involves wearing a mask.
Authenticity can be the perfect link for the understanding of that so necessary correction that we ourselves can make of our behavior, when we are authentic we do not mask our mistakes, simply authenticity allows us to be as we are with all our mistakes, once we accept our mistakes we can work on them and be better people, but all thanks to that quality called personal authenticity.
It is not easy to walk the path of personal authenticity, since we live in a world of appearances, where an authentic person can be valued as a person who is out of the stereotypes dictated by society, however this should not be an impediment for us to continue giving value to the authenticity that is born from our soul.
Hi @sandracarrascal, being original in our way of being and thinking is what differentiates us from the rest of the people, everyone is as they want to be and no one can prevent that, excellent arituculo friend.
hello @sandracarrascal,
I agree with you when you say that "you have to be unique but not to the extreme", it is sad to see that the only thing that the current system values are the stereotypes that millions of people blindly follow, when a person acts like someone they are not, that ends up hurting their self esteem, being unique is simply showing yourself as you are to other people so that they value you for who you really are and not being valued simply for projecting something you are not and that only hurts you.
I don't know any other way than being authentic or unique, that's what it's all about, each one knows, understands and defends his or her identity.
Well done Friend @ sandracarrascal, reading your gives me a sense of how unique i am. As you have said " originality is given in us as that process of acceptance that allows us to accept ourselves as we are and not to seek the lines that want to take us to a field of loss of that originality that each of us carry intrinsically." I 100% voted for that elucidiation.
@sandracarrascal you have said it all. i belive being authentic could be tough but I still see it as the most easiest things to do. doing you is easy and simple and it will not cost you your peace of mind. thanks for educating us as always
Greetings,
I believe that in order to be real, we must have certain distinguishing characteristics in our personality.
We will keep trying to find the one who is truly unique in today's society, which is full of clones and similar characters.
This is an excellent article, thanks for sharing.
Originality is a virtue that is really scarce in this age and time. There is pressure coming from the media which is making people loose their self confidence and self esteem greatly.
Being original however, will place you on a level of complete trust and great success even if the society doesn't present it that way. Thanks a lot for the lovely information and enlightenment.
