Words from the author
Living authentically begins with making a commitment to yourself; a promise to embrace each day with the awareness that life is truly what we make of it, and that we have the power to live a gratifying and joyful life that resonates with our values and beliefs.
While I have done my best to adhere to authenticity, including it in my life in its entirety truly began with the launch of‘ Life, Happiness, and Inspiration’ in December 2015. This blog had been a project on my to-do list for almost five years, the effect of a fast-paced business life that I had made my priority.
It was only when I came to terms with why I had delayed publishing that I realized: I was being inauthentic with myself. While I found my personal life to be energetic, rewarding, and filled with love, my career kept demanding more of my time and energy. In my haste, I had neglected to ask myself if I was both capable and truly willing to devote more of myself to my business. And if doing so, would it bring me inspiration that had always been a part of my personal life.
This discovery inspired me to make a change. Reconciling my personal and business lives became a priority. Embracing both aspects of me wholeheartedly, instead of feeling as though they were constantly at odds motivated me to be honest with myself. It was this journey of reconciliation that inspired‘ Living an Authentic Life’ which I am happy to share with you today.
My past experiences have taught me that the path to living authentically does not come without effort, but these are vastly outweighed by its rewards. In this book you’ ll find the steps that I took to embrace authenticity in all aspects of my life. I hope that it bring you the same sense of happiness and fulfillment that it has brought me.
