When you act like something doesn’t matter and it does matter, you
shrink your soul and smother your authentic spirit.

1). Make space for your authentic voice by silencing your fake self.

All of your accumulated compensation is emotional and intellectual clutter and clutter must be cleared. Without space for your authentic self to express and act, your little, fearful self will keep running the show by avoiding, pretending and shirking responsibility.

most of my life I was told what to do and how to do it, and the last 7 years I have been unraveling and finding out who I am and what I think about everything personally,.. finding my throat chakra was HUGE and yet not only getting it cleared to level but staying cleared and confident is the challenge… it is a confidence thing for me now,.. more than being authentic… reconditioning is happening..and practicing and believing that I can do it. Now, I am in a position where I can be self-employed, I just need to start earning so i don’t lose my chances and get the stuff out there.. almost done the first info product!

thanks for sharing,
Jenn

Stacey – Good for you. You’re right it is rare but so sorely needed. Keep standing tall.

Sara – Hope your daughter decided to wakeup and create her own good sooner rather than later. I’m sure with you as her Mom, she’ll be fine.

I thought this was a very powerful post. I have a daughter struggling a bit in her job and I’m sending it on to her. She could use a bit of your “shaking things up” attitude.

For me, I was taken by your 3 “finds” —

Find or create an environment where you can naturally speak your truth.

Find or create an environment where you are eager to do the work.

Find or create a work opportunity where you are driven to excel and then both your drive and your hunger will be fulfilled.

These are so true. Thanks:~)

Daphne – Please do write that post and let me know. I’ll be sure to throw my hat in the ring in your comment section. I don’t think meaningful is a synonym for authentic. Meaningful adds way too much pressure for my taste. Authentic work is simply is natural, genuine and real. Meaningful for me sets the bar too high for most folks.

Stacey – Cool, I love mind messes. We need to shake things up frequently. Has working on what you want to been easier for you than what you love?

Imee- Lots of folks have set themselves up to have it both ways. Good for you. If it still allows you to whistle while you work, enjoy it and be grateful.

Clem – Did you read this post on doing what you want versus doing work that you love? I think you’ll find it very helpful.

Juliet – Let freedom ring! Congratulations! That’s wonderful now go forth and deliver value like only you can. The world supports us when we serve form our authentic edge.

Kathy – Yes, that is my authentic and fulfilling work. I love to guide and honor those who are about to make the leap to their freedom. You’re right, if you aren’t suited to creation then you can find an environment that stimulates you. It’s all in what you value.

Deb – Good point, self-examination is key. I agree that some enlightened employers will work with you. Unfortunately they are in the minority.

Laurie – Employers don’t always say what they mean. But at least you now know how to be a good and supportive boss to yourself.
