Today as you live and lead be real, honest and consistent in every interaction that you have.
It has to be exhausting trying to be someone different for certain people in certain situations but people do it every day. Trying to be someone that you are not only leads to deception and mistrust. Your true self is your best self and is the best that you can offer. It won’t always be perfect but it will be real and transparent. We are always a work in progress.
Being real means using your unique gifts, talents and passions in every situation. You have them. Continue to use, trust and develop your talents. They were given to you for a reason. To help and serve others. If you’re not good at something that’s OK, don’t fake it. Someone else will be good at it. You don’t have to pretend you are good at something that you may not have the talents for and the phrase “fake it ’til you make it” won’t fool anybody.
Don’t try to be someone or something that you are not. People don’t need a fake, they need and want authenticity.
At the end of the day people want to know that you were true to your word and treated them with respect, dignity and you didn’t try to be something or someone that you were not.
So be real, authentic and true to who you are and the talents and gifts that you have all day today and every day. Living any other way is not in anyone’s best interest, including yours.
Be Blessed.
