Sometimes We Can't Be Authentic?
Sometimes We Can't Be Authentic?
I had a friend say to me that she wanted to be fully authentic, however sometimes she felt that society wouldn't let her.
The example she cited was in regards to the electoral roll (in the UK it is a legal requirement to sign up to it, or so it seems). She didn't want to vote so she didn't see why she had to fill it in, fair enough.
Her point was that she felt authentic to not fill it in, but the government would fine her a lot of money if she didn't so she felt like she couldn't be authentic now.
However the reality is, that no matter what happens, we can always be authentic. In the above case, she would simply need to be authentic in relation to learning about the fine. This is just new information that is added in to the mix. She would now just be authentic with how she reacts with all the available information.
So we can always be authentic. Being authentic doesn't mean that things always go as we want. It's just that whatever comes up we effortlessly act in an authentic matter which is totally in tune with our true nature.
