It is easy to hide behind a mask and it is difficult to be authentic. Wearing a mask means safety from having to reveal weaknesses and failures, while authenticity means being as you are with all your beautiful strengths and flaws. It takes a great amount of courage to be authentic. At the heart of inauthenticity is a lack of compassion and self-love. To grow in authenticity, start by treating yourself with sympathy and love, as you would a beloved family member. Be patient with yourself, supportive and encouraging. Do not repress your unique self to please others but feel free to be expressive. We experience needless suffering when we make ourselves conform just to fit in. It is better to honor yourself by being true to you and to honor others with the gift that is the real you.
