Living Authentic Lives. The opportunity to LIVE! Authentically is many things wrapped into the one word. It is an invitation (to you), a declaration (for us), and an imperative (for all us) rolled into one word: LIVE!
Only when we are fully present are we really who we are; therefore, in order to live authentically as the gift YOU are, you are called to be present to the present moment with your presence. If that sounds redundant, perhaps it is, but absolutely necessary for a deeper understand. It Is similar to doing a presentation, where you tell the audience what you are going to tell them, you tell them, and then you summarize what you told them.
The present moment is never fully accessible to you if we are not present to it. How will you see this show up in your everyday life and begin to live life more authentically? You will stop pretending to be someone you aren’t. You’ll extricate yourself from relationships that don’t feed you and aren’t mutually communicative. You’ll accept, honor & reveal your desires.
Desires are what allow us to be fully human. It is only through understanding and accepting your desires…your longings…that you can fully become present to yourself and others, connecting with both your humanity and your divine essence. Being present means being conscious, being awake, being aware and FEELING alive!
How do you know when you have been to sleep? When you notice you have just awakened! This happens emotionally in similar ways to the physical state of sleep. How do you know it is morning and you have awakened from your sleep? Think about it.
