Anyone who really loves you wants you to be authentic. And anyone who doesn't want you to be authentic doesn't really love you.
If you seek authenticity for authenticity's sake you are no longer authentic.
Stay true to yourself. People respond to authenticity.
We're constantly changing and any practice meant to serve our authenticity should reflect our fluid nature.
If we want authenticity we have to initiate it.
You cannot fail at being yourself. A cat doesn't try to be a tiger, and you shouldn't try to be something you aren't. You are a process, not a product. Your job is to discover what you are and create that creature. You still won't be perfect, but success isn't about perfection-it is about authenticity. You are a success if you are being your real, authentic self.
Don't settle for a relationship that won't let you be yourself.
Perfection is the antithesis of authenticity.
Abandon money for authenticity.
There is no calling of God to man on earth but what brings with it the evidence of its authenticity.
Supermarkets depict abundance; boutiques exclusiveness; roadside stands authenticity.
That's what rock music is, I think - constantly searching for authenticity, and being as honest as possible.
When a path opens up before us that leads we know not where, don't be afraid to follow it. Our lives are meant to be mysterious journeys, unfolding one step at a time. Often we follow a path worn smooth by the many and in doing so we lose our authenticity, our individuality, our own unique expression. Do not be afraid to lose your way. Out of chaos, clarity will eventually rise. Out of not knowing, something new and unknown will ultimately come. Do not order things too swiftly. Wait and the miracle will appear.
No matter what your work, let it be your own. No matter what your occupation, let what you are doing be organic. Let it be in your bones. In this way, you will open the door by which the affluence of heaven and earth shall stream into you.
This above all; to thine own self be true.
Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, 'This is the real me,' and when you have found that attitude, follow it.
Choice. It's the word that allows yes and the word that makes no possible. It's the word that puts the free in freedom and takes obligation out of the mix. It's the word upon which adventure, exhilaration, and authenticity depend. It's the word that the cocoon whispers to the caterpillar.
Authenticity is more than speaking; Authenticity is also about doing. Every decision we make says something about who we are.
Our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self acceptance.
Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive.
I rather shared Nietzsche's conception of the kind of individual that an ideal education should be cultivating. 'Authenticity' is not Nietzsche's term, but as used by some existentialists, it nicely captures what Nietzsche admired - the resolve of an individual person to forge his or her own 'table of values', to be emancipated from strait-jacketing conventions, traditions, and ideologies. As embodied in the 'Overman', authenticity is the antidote to 'bad' nihilism.
Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul.
You should be convinced of the authenticity of what you have, but you must also be humble enough to say that we don't know everything. And since we don't know everything, we must accept that another person may believe something else.
The words "genius" and "genuine" derive from the same root. The core of genius is authenticity.
Pretension may sit still, but cannot act. Pretension never feigned an act of real greatness. Pretension never wrote an Iliad, nordrove back Xerxes, nor christianized the world, nor abolished slavery.
