Replies to 'Defining Your Authentic Self'

You have taken the first step in finding your authentic self by coming to the boards and asking the question.

 

For many stories have a look in the Archives - however the journey that I started to find my authentic self commenced 3 years ago and whilst I am now comfortable within myself and my world I keep finding new things about myself - the journey will continue for me for the rest of my life.

 

And I think that is what it is all about for life is a journey and happiness is not a destination it is a part of the journey.

 

Like most of those who come here I worked on Dr Phil's Self Matters and Life Strategies books - the work was long and exhausting but the result - which was me and my authentic self - was worth it.  Give it a try.

 

I think one of the main things to remember - is that you should not try to define yourself by what you do or where you live or what you have - the real and true definition of who you are lies deep within - not in superficial world.

Well don't change the sense of humor.l0l. It is definatly part of ur authentic self.

I think you should really try to define the things you are not happy with. "Everything" is not a answer. Like Dr. Phil often says: define your goals as precise as possible.

 Ask yourself this, "Who is it not good enough for?" If your answer is YOU never feel you are good enough, how did you arrive at this answer? And is it getting you what you want in life?  If it's  somebody else's voice telling you you're not good enough,  where's the truth in it? Why would you let somebody else decide if you are worthy or not? These are exactly the kinds of answers that you can find in SELF MATTERS, if you truly want to find them.

is to look at things, is to see the slopes that we have crossed, the rivers we allowed ourself (at least in getting there) to be swept down etc.  Are we are a better person for it?  If we are a little bit calmer, for example, if the same situation arises, we have not only recognised it, but we have improved immensely.
