Everyone’s life tells a story. It’s like a message that lives within as our activities uncover a trail of experiences that become our story. Our story unfolds one day at a time as we seek to resolve everyday issues that frequently become lifelong journeys. In the process we inspire ourselves to move forward if for no other reason than because there are no other viable alternatives.
As we enter into the second quarter of the year we continue to write our own story. Some of us enter the second quarter with an assessment of the previous three months and strategic plans to accomplish for the incoming quarter. Others approach it in a creative frame of mind allowing life to flow as it presents itself. Still others find an approach that falls between these two perspectives. Each path reveals a different route to authenticity.
Finding your authentic path is really important. In our youth we struggle to find out who we are and what we want to do with our life. At that time we have very little perspective about what life is and even who we are in the world. And sometimes once we get into the world we find that our view of ourselves gets challenged as we learn views that we never even considered before.
Those who are lucky find career paths that honor their natural gifts and talents. Those who have the greatest internal drive find that they become entrepreneurs because it’s the most effective way to authentically express self. The lucky ones outmaneuver the financial world yet most live a life of passion that seems to be married to struggle. The really lucky ones become an overnight success that only takes 15 years to build.
This is the path of authenticity. Knowing who you are and being it, no matter what. As you enter the second quarter of the year you have the opportunity to make a new commitment to invite authenticity into your life. Will you?
