Living an Authentic Life: The Authentic Journey (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781939119858)

Living an Authentic Life

The Authentic Journey

When my classmate stated that I was the most authentic person he knew, I was overwhelmed and excited, complimented and recharged, all at the same time. I exhaled slowly because that was the first time who I was had a title and a definition.

I was relieved that I finally could explain how my mind, my life's philosophy, and my words worked.

For many years, I was the person who everyone could count on to share the truth in a direct manner, sometimes altering their views of themselves, or other information that no one is ready for. I have made employees cry, boyfriends leave, and associates cringe. In various ways, I have shared my true feelings in a manner that often dismantled their dignity.

My supervisor advised me one day that I should consider changing my approach and my communication techniques. She was correct. Just because I was right does not mean that others are ready or equipped to receive it and especially with my Direct Delivery method.

It seems that I have a way, a look, and a demeanor that causes people to reconsider approaching me in some circumstances.

In this book, I will share some of my techniques and shortcomings, my philosophies and advice. I live differently. I love differently. I create opportunities differently. I pursue life differently.

Get ready for an extraordinary journey which will require you to reconsider almost every aspect of your life. Be prepared to be set free from the self-inflicted anchors, which you espouse.

See you on the other side of this authentic journey.
