There is something powerful about someone who is truly themselves. They don’t allow their identity to conform to who other people expect them to be. They are not some cheap copy of someone else. They don’t regurgitate the empty sayings that our vapid culture has produced. They embody their true authentic self.

Someone who is their authentic self is:

• An original and independent thinker → can think for themselves
• Someone who displays real empathy → is genuine in their interactions
• Passionate about a cause → stands up for what is right
• Comfortable with who they are → is not in competition with others
