The Authentic Life
Many times when we want to improve an unpleasant situation in our lives, we lament that nothing changes no matter what we do. Yet, at the bottom of things is the truth that we are not really sincere, that we are not really honest with ourselves. We want things to be better, but not if it means, we have to change. An authentic life requires there not be discrepancies and gaps in our inner and outer lives. The amount of power we have to elicit help from a Divine source is directly proportional to our level of sincerity. Sincerity means aligning with the highest, most sacred part of ourselves. The shortest path to harmony is finding the path, actions, and beliefs that align the human consciousness with Soul. Sincerity brings peace.
Contemplation
Close your eyes and ask God to show you how to be your true self. Sing, chant, or just silently repeat the word "sincere" three times. Sit quietly and listen.
Action
Make a list of areas in your life where you believe you are not authentic and true to yourself. What is your heart's desire for your life?
