Before starting the Wildflower May series, I wrote out all of the topics I want to write about that made some sense in going together. However, some posts morphed into new ideas, and others expanded my expectation of what the topic should have been about, at first assumption. This happens to everything we do.
My co-star wisdom of the day says authenticity is a lie. So I want to start this post, about how to become authentically empowered with breaking down what co-star is saying to me.
It’s no coincidence that this is the quote for today. The universe is in sync with me. I wrote about a box of chocolates, and the universe found a way to get me a deliciously divine box of mint chocolates, so here we are, seeing the synchronicities, feeling the flow of the waves of the universe.
Authenticity is a lie
Yes. Authenticity as a concept is a lie. Why? Because it requires being. If you are an authentic person, it’s because your actions reflect your honesty. If you are authentically empowered, then you are empowered by standing and living your philosophical life.
Authenticity cannot stand alone without someone to embody what it means to be authentic.
What does it mean to be authentically empowered?
When you find your personal truth, and live an honest life, you are authentically empowered. But what are the key identifying metrics of authentic empowerment?
Live with love first
Empowerment means finding your inner strength, wisdom, and love. Thus, to be authentically empowered, living with love first is a key component to embodying this kind of empowerment.
If you’re wondering how to live with love first, then I can outline some simple steps.
Treat others with the love you wish for yourself
Always consider how your reaction can be more loving
Give yourself love, compassion, kindness, and empathy
Be of service to others
Being of service to others, goes back to the principle of ego detachment I wrote about yesterday. It also means that every action you do is to benefit someone else, and give back because you acknowledge your inherent connection with a divine source of energy.
You walk with strength, love, and truth because you take steps everyday to reconnect with your divine source.
Expand your vision of success
If you’re wondering how your vision of success can lead you on the path of becoming more authentically empowered, that is a fair question.
Expanding your personal vision of success means you are living a purposeful life. The reasoning behind what you do everyday is to give back to others, live a life of love, and spread kindness with every word.
Seeing where you want to be in the future empowers you to live authentically now. If your vision is foggy, it will be harder to live authentically.
Remember…
The idea behind how to become authentically empowered is to live authentically. Without embodying the principles of authenticity, the concept cannot extend to its fullest capacity and thus becomes null and void.
Everyone has a different idea of what their authentic empowerment looks life, but the method of embodying authenticity is the same. Live with love, be of service, and keep expanding your vision of what success looks like.
Remember that success can include what you earn through this life of empowerment. If you are always giving back then you’re not authentically living the systems we are forced into through societal contracts.
Freedom comes from within us, before we can feel it outside us. As above, so below, is the law of karma, which says our actions come back to us what we give out.
Hope you enjoyed today’s post! I encourage you to sit with a notebook and ponder how you live authentically empowered on a daily basis. Consider opposing views from within yourself and talk to your 3 months from now self about how to be more authentic right now.
Leave a comment about what you’ve found within yourself. I’m looking forward to hearing your comments!
With love and light,
