Authenticity. The high school motto the year I graduated was BE.

I spent much of that year searching for authenticity. Now be is associated with kindness and happiness and all sorts of nesses. How about just BE?

Is this how you live your life?

There is in you something that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself… that is the only true guide that you will ever have. Howard Thurman

When are you most authentic? Do you dare to show that part of yourself to others? Do they know how sacred that sharing can be? Do you have others in your life who are authentic with you? Do you cherish their relationship? What might you set as a goal towards more authenticity in your living?

Sincerity, honesty, genuine, true. Is that you?
