“Authenticity is a daily practice. Choosing to be authentic means cultivating the courage to be imperfect. To set boundaries and allow ourselves to be vulnerable. It means exercising the compassion that comes from knowing that we are all made of strength and struggle. Knowing that we are connected to each other through a loving and resilient human spirit. It means nurturing the connection and sense of belonging that can only happen when we let go of what we are supposed to be and embrace who we are. Authenticity demands wholehearted living and loving–even when it’s difficult. Even when wrestling with the shame and fear of not being good enough. Mindfully practicing authenticity during our most soul-searching struggles is how we invite grace, joy, and gratitude into our lives.” -Brene Brown
