I will watch people and if they're just following their intuition, man, they will just pick the next thing.

And this is what we do when we're just following our nature.

My nature, my authenticity improved me in ways that I didn't even know we're happening.

Welcome to the art of accomplishment, where we explore how deepening connection

with ourselves and others leads to creating the life we want with enjoyment and ease. I'm Brett

Kisler, here today with my co-host, Joe Hudson. When we consider how we want life to be in the

future, we often create a list of things that we have to improve about ourselves.

Yet we rarely consider that we could succeed in improving every aspect of our lives, and by doing so, completely lose touch with who we are and what we want.

What if learning who we are creates a future far better than what we think we want?

What if it creates a future better than

what we could imagine? Today's episode is about valuing authenticity over improvement.

So Joe, let's talk about authenticity. What is authenticity? Authenticity is an endless spiral

in one way in the fact that it's like it is evolutionary by nature.

We think that there's an authentic self and it is the solid thing, but it's not.

It's like it's as we discover ourselves, there's always more to discover, and as we discover ourselves, we transform.

So authenticity is really a path more than a

destination and and the way that you can identify when you're on that path of authenticity is it's always

about the process it's never about the reward and it's never like a means to an end.

It's like a river.

It's very much like a river in the fact that there's a way that a river wants to run.

And that's the natural flow of the river.

And next year you'll come back and that river will run a different way.
