Firstly, big thank you for your - I would say profound, comment 🙏🏼

Authenticity to me: thoughts, words and action aligned.

Oh god I'm rereading your comment to decide where I'd like to delve further but it's all so well written haha.

Most often, a leap of faith is involved. Instead of waffling around and "adjusting the formula," we move into simple BE-ingness. What is the TRUE "leap?" We expose ourselves. That is, the self we show is the self we are.

With that comes a risk: People will see us as we truly are. And when someone rejects that? We experience how it feels to have our essential self rejected. Which can sting. But would you rather be stung for truth than for fakery?

Spot on, bravo. In order for spiritual growth to truly flourish I think we need to be stung at times. We need to get rejected by some and loved by others. Otherwise, you're probably not challenging anything and probably just waddles around with the rest of the herd.

🙏🏼
