4 Tips to be more authentic

All too often, people are taught to exert effort to identify and pursue a career based on standardized test scores and external guidance that tell you what is best or right for you. Sound familliar? Maybe you have gone down this road and something about your current focus does nto feel right? 

What if from before birth, you are on a collision course with what matters to the Soul? What if authenticity is about recognizing what drives you, understanding emotional blocks and mental filters that prevent you from seeing?  Consider five tips to be more authentic:

1) Get to the root

The true meaning of authenticity is in its Latin root, which means "author".  Thus, being "authentic" is not being honest about who you are, but rather, about being conscious you author-create your life. Authenticity is both active and creative process. It's not about revealing something, but building a vision of you.

2) Align with the soul

As you do some soul searching and better understand yourself, you may, like many people, realize, your current career is not congruent with who you are (your values, passions and core). Only you know if you earn money via a livelihood, vocation, or an unconscious habit to get by.

3) Share intimate revelations 

Life is a mirror.  The more intimate you get with yourself and share about yourself, the more comfortable you are with intimacy and transparency.  As you join the dots of childhood events that shape your character and share these, you show integrity, own the process and integrate the soul lessons that enable you to move into an expanded version of you. Love is not about a relationship.  Love is relating.  It is an ongoing phenomenon, a verb not a noun.  To relate is insecure and relationship is a security.  The flow of revelations is like pure water.

4) Be

When you are fully authentic, you never have to go through the process of revealing who you are. True authenticity doesn't require you to tell anyone else what your values are, because everyone will be able to see your values in the way you live your life. When you are fully authentic you don't reveal your chosen values, you become them – you live them.

5 Tips to Manifest the right career

Every thought is manifesting on some level.  There is only one reality and that's thought reality.  If you know the dynamics of creating the thought, you can manifest the thought. Simply learn how to get out of your own way. Reflect on 5 tips to manifest the right career:

1. Know the Rational Mind and Soul are at odds.

If you desire a certain work role or situation to change, be aware the rational mind doubts and disallows the Soul to operate.  The Soul is that part of you that knows how you feel, acts in integrity with your values and functions outside of time constraints.  It guides you to the right career when you pay attention to signs and synchronicities. Soul does not care about logic or cause and effect. It does not compare to the past or guide you to what others recommend. You only know the Soul manifests the right career when you validate it for yourself.  You have to get to know Soul to listen.

2. Accept dreaming offers clues to the right career

As you get beyond what the fear-driven mind is telling you to do, it hits that the astral plane is in your Soul. You dream in and explore the astral plane at night.  All opportunities, ideas, jobs and career paths are here. Its where Alexander Graham Bell dreamed of the telephone, awoke to draw it and the rest is widely known. During daytime, everything also presents but the ego imagines time constraints and other obstacles. This blocks seeing or postpones certain experiences entering your experience. Recall how relaxed you feel in the dreamstate.  Fearlessness is required to allow thoughts (i.e. vision, job, inspiration) to manifest. Let go of doubt and clarify what you love.

3.  Recognize time controls you (only as long as you allow it)

All mainstream education and training is about developing the mind (perpetuating time-related existence).  We benefit from that which is beyond the mind in order to grow more aware of how we think and feel and harness forgotten thought power.  

4. Explore your beliefs

This is required to better understand why you choose the jobs you do.  Then, you can feel better where you are or, master thought manifestation and create something better suited to what the Soul needs to grow.

5. Imagine your ideal scenario

Describe it in as much detail as possible. Visualize, feel the visceral and palpable sides to the this.  This adds a whole new dimension to livlihood, soul purpose in action.
