You would think that being authentic would be the, well, most authentic and easy thing

for us to do.

But in fact, it is quite the opposite.

Being authentic is one of the hardest things for us to do as humans.

As we learn early on, before we are even conscious, actually, that we need to put on a front

to go out on the world wearing a mask, to mirror and match the expressions of others in order

to get them to like us and to accept us.

This is done for survival in a tribe species.

And you would also think that being authentic today would be easier than at any other time

in history, because quote unquote, being authentic is such a thing now, but the reality

is our reality has never been more packaged, staged, photoshopped and faked and then promoted

and made visible everywhere and constantly than at any other time in human history.

Never before in history has everyone's fake reality been propagated and constantly in

our conscious awareness.
