Lolly,

Thank you for sharing this wonderful article with great insights and inner probing questions.

Yes, living authentically is a moment to moment experience. I often find myself “holding back” due to fear and other self-induced illusions. I’m still overcoming past programming that no longer serves my best and highest good… it’s a process for sure.

Again, thanks for your insights and I look forward to reading more!

Best Regards,

~Henry~

I really enjoyed your article, we share a very similar philosophy for living. Each day I try my best to be guided by my inner diva. Some days are better than others. It’s been amazing to observe how my life unfolds when I listen to my heart (inner diva).

I just came upon your site and enjoyed reading your posts and other comments of people. Keep up the good work of bringing mindfulness to work!

I also wrote about the authentic leader that you may find interesting:

Adding to B Kite’s point I wanted to point out some questions one can ask to tap into one’s purpose:

And I also wanted to say I loved the Barking Unicorn’s point about the changing nature of life, so there cannot be a purpose, and it is important to be fluid and flow…

This was timely for me to read. It is the part of my life that I struggle with the most; being what makes me the most happy versus being what others expect me to be. Thanks and well written.

Twenty years ago, at the age of 53, I found my raison d’etre. Changing the lives of thousands of salespeople is one of the most gratifying things I have ever done.

Teaching them how to sell on the basis of mutual trust, mutual respect, and authenticity gives them back their self-esteem and self-respect. It enables their high ethical standards to be well rewarded. It enables them to live the rest of their lives based on those principles.

If I look inwards and see that I want money and fame and easy work, does that count as authenticity? I wonder if there are certain important questions you should be asking yourself to find the authentic you.

Many of us are very connected to the immediate gratification we get from our choices. Many of us do not know how to sit quietly and ask the right questions and breath. I think personal coaching is what helps one go on this journey and no one article will help someone find their “inner wisdom” because they can be fooled into thinking it is when it isn’t.
