How to Break Through the Biggest Hurdles Keeping You From Your Dream Life

Let’s continue the talk about authenticity this week. This is such an important topic because understanding authenticity is the key to living your life on purpose. Instead of following the path of least resistance, a purposeful life is creating your own path, no matter what others think.

Think about your own life’s journey. Have you been a people pleaser your whole life, doing what you thought you were supposed to do? For many that’s earning a college degree, getting married, buying a house, and having children. Think about your coworkers. Do they live for the weekends and vacations or are they happy with their career choice?

What many people don’t understand is when we follow someone else’s path, we’re cheating ourselves. Only WE are responsible for our own authenticity – for showing the world our gifts – and if we are unhappy, it’s up to US to make intentional changes.

What does an authentic life look like for you? The journey has to start with ourselves, from within, by identifying our most important values. This is a great journaling exercise because you can dream big. There are no right or wrong answers; we can live as big as our imaginations allow us to dream. What is stopping you from stepping into your power and showing the world exactly who you are?
