0:00.0	Hey there, Jen here, and this is a happy bit. So I was talking with a friend this week, and we were
0:07.0	talking about authenticity, knowing who you really are. Now, this friend and I have an acquaintance
0:13.7	that we don't know too well, but we've noticed that she tends to contradict herself. One day
0:18.6	she'll like one thing or say one thing and the next week or two later
0:23.4	she's saying the complete opposite thing. And we wondered why she does this. Well, perhaps she has a
0:29.3	really bad memory, but probably it's something else, which would be she doesn't really know

1:19.5	talking about who always contradicted herself, I think that started because she's always
1:25.7	been a people pleaser.
1:31.2	She wants to please her parents and she wants to please her neighbors and her friends and what society says she should be doing.
1:34.8	And in that process, she's never really discovered what she truly likes,
1:40.5	what brings her true, true energy and joy.
1:43.8	So I don't want you to live that way. I want each of you
1:46.7	to know what you love. And in that process, you'll probably discover your gifts and even part of
