Authenticity....risk it!

Are you authentic in your relationships? Authenticity is not superficial caring. It is genuine, heart to heart, often gut level sharing. It happens when we get honest about who we are and what is happening in our lives. It is sharing hurts, revealing our feelings, confessing our failures, disclosing our fears, acknowledging our weaknesses, showing our vulnerability and admitting how important someone is in our lives. Authenticity displays honesty and humility. We often wear masks, keep our guard up and are afraid to expose all of who we are to anyone. Being authentic requires courage, it means taking a risk and facing our fears of exposure, rejection and being hurt. We only grow and develop incredible, lasting, empowering relationships by taking the risk. Do you need to risk it today? Are you experiencing all you can in your closest relationships....authenticity....honesty......humility and courage. You have it in you and YOU are worth the risk!
