11 unfair advantages you get from being totally authentic online
You become UNCOPYABLE
This is because you focus on details
The details create depth and substance
You can only achieve that by defining yourself
And a stack of defined details creates a magnetic pull
When you're authentic, you make sure you do that in everything you do
You become CONFIDENT in who you are
This is because you're comfortable with yourself
And this is RARE
This type of confidence comes from really thinking through who you are
And being this self-aware makes the world's secrets unlock for you
You appear LARGER than life
This doesn't mean you're being fake
Practicing authenticity allows you to transcend the mundane
You end up creating a league of your own
You're not concerned with anything irrelevant to you
And that makes you captivating and relevant to others
You don't feel the need to HIDE yourself
You'll become aware of "the gap"
It's the crevice between what's vibrating as true to you
VERSUS how you "think you should" behave, express, and say with others
Authenticity erases that gap
It makes you become whole with integrity
You become insanely PROUD of yourself
When you look in the mirror
You LIKE the person looking back
Because you didn't compromise
These stack-up as little wins
Which creates confidence overtime
Walking around with this kind of self-worth
Is *completely* priceless
You don't waste another moment on BS
• Imposter syndrome?
• Overthinking?
• Chasing the unreasonable?
If you know you're going to die
You value life and the moments you're given
And you don't waste a second
Each moment is an opportunity to practice being you
You build a high level of TRUST
You're not concerned with selling out
Your #1 concern is delivering value *you can only provide*
And people trust that intention and what you can and cannot deliver
This actually makes it easier to share your value to the RIGHT people
You'll be wanted when times get TOUGH
Being true to yourself makes you a natural leader
That's because you have a sense of what to do and a reason for doing it
You've developed clear critical thinking skills in processing details
So people will call you to do that for them
You develop an EYE for the real and pure
You know what it's like to not be true
And you can tell when something else is being so... or not.
It's not as much a taste as it is a skill
But being able to decipher this is a gift
It makes navigating life easier
You're more ENLIGHTENED
Alan Watts once said:
"People suffer only because they take seriously what the gods made for fun."
Because of this, you don't get tripped up when people both like you or don't like you
You don't take it personally
It's all something to laugh at
You cut to the CORE of people's hearts
Authenticity is not for the faint-hearted
In order to even get that
You have to listen to a very faint voice inside of you telling you what's going on
That's your intuition
