Being Authentic means......

letting go of EGO and focusing on what it is that you truly would like to be.  We all have times where our ego gets in our way of our growth.  There have been times in my life when I have thought that something should be happening in one specific way and guess what SURPRISE it didn't happen that way.  In the long run I realized that the situation that did occur was the correct one for me at that moment.  Wayne Dyer states that EGO stands for "Edging God Out" others state that there are five extensions of Ego (anger, hatred, judgment, control and pride- Yehuda Berg).  As I continue to grow (and I will do this until the day I pass on) I do my best to identify when any of these feelings come into play and take a step back to allow the true process to happen.  That is when my true growth occurs within me.  Being authentic means it is ok to not be perfect!!!  Being authentic is letting go of your ego and enjoying your life don’t over think all things that come your way.
