The Power of Authentic Connection: Why Being Real is Worth the Risk

You can learn how to say and do all the right things to be perceived well in the eyes of another, but if it isn’t coming from your truth, the illusion of connection won’t last.

Authenticity creates real emotional bonds that can grow, while manipulating words and actions for a desired outcome only leads to an empty shell of connection.

Why do we feel the need to be inauthentic anyways?

We fear rejection and try to control how others see us. Ultimately we don’t think we are enough the way that we are… but the result? We disconnect from ourselves and from them.

When we are authentic it’s because we are connected to a true feeling inside ourselves, one that we are aware of and we then communicate (with love) to the other person - even if it’s different! Even if we think it might make them not like us anymore.

Why on Earth would we do that? Why would we risk losing a connection by being real?

Because you want to have fulfilling relationships! You want the ones that light up your soul, that make you laugh til you cry, that soothe your aching heart, that make you love being alive.

It’s a simple recipe:

First, you need to relate from your truth.

Second, you need to be resonated with authentically by the other person.

And third, if you aren’t resonated with then it’s just not a match and it’s as simple as that!

There are so many people in the world who will authentically vibe with who you really are. Trust that those connections exist, and don’t waste energy on what isn’t real.
