If I was being authentic right now, I wouldn’t be writing a blog post. I’d be on the couch, enjoying an N/A beverage and watching Big Bang Theory. That’s authentic and real.
But that doesn’t help you. It doesn’t live up to the expectation you have of me (or I have of me). It doesn’t make change happen or serve the purpose of leaving a legacy.
Consistency does that. Consistency of showing up and being intentional about the change I seek to make in you and the world.
Authenticity is great when it aligns with our intentions, but it’s more about us being intentional in our actions than authentic.
You’ll see far greater results from intention than from authenticity.
Stay Positive & Show Up, Even When You’re Not Feeling Like It
