Authenticity

There is the true self-- the Soul, and then there is the false self-- the Ego, and that is all... The Ego attaches your identity to WHATEVER you give it: possessions, accomplishments, looks, titles, success, reputation, and even failure. While the Soul is perfectly unique, gifted, and absolutely pure... Your "Authenticity" is found in your Soul. Live from the Soul today, with no pretense, nothing to prove, and in line with your true purpose (just recognize when you are controlled by ego, and it immediately evaporates)... When we find our authentic self, there is no worry of success or victory-- for then, and only then, your Creator has taken the reins.
