"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony." - Mahatma GandhiTo live your most joyful and happy life, you must to be true to your authentic self.
This means living your life in alignment with your own values and vision.
"You are in integrity when the life you are living on the outside matches who you are on the inside." ~ Alan CohenWhen you feel anxious, distressed or unhappy, you’ve disconnected from your authentic self.
If life’s not ‘working out’ the way you want it to, then it’s time to re-connect with Authentic You.
We can be so busy playing roles in our lives, that we lose touch with who we really are.
But we are more than just somebody’s daughter, wife, boss, employee, student etc.
Those roles do not define who we are.
"I am a human being, not a human doing. You aren't what you do. If you are what you do, then when you don't...you aren't."Whatever other people happen to think of us does not define who we are.
~ Dr. Wayne Dyer
"The fact is that who you are has absolutely nothing to do with any thoughts or opinions that exist in anyone else in this world." ~ Dr. Wayne DyerAs we continue to grow and evolve, who we were and where we’ve come from does not define who we are now, or who we can become.
"Our history is not our destiny.” ~ Alan CohenIf you’ve lost touch with who you really are, then it’s time to get re-acquainted. :)
“Know thyself and to thine own self be true.” ~ William ShakespeareTake some time to think about what’s important to you.
- What are your values?
- What do you love? What do you love to do?
- What makes you feel alive?
- What did you love to do when you were young? (If you're not doing that anymore, why did you stop?)
- What are your hopes and dreams?
"By my love and hope I beseech you: do not throw away the hero in your soul! Hold holy your highest hope!" ~ Friedrich NietzscheWhen you abandon your hopes and dreams you disconnect from your authentic self.
- What is Your Vision of the life you want?
“Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks within, awakens.”- Carl JungWhen you are true to yourself and living authentically, you’ll find that life is more harmonious.
"As the heart opens, the truth and splendour of who we really are is finally revealed and expressed as inner peace, love, joy and freedom." ~ Leonard LaskowEmbrace and respect who you truly are now, what’s important to you and what you want for your life.
Do what you love, do what inspires you and makes you happy and create the life that you want.
"So often we wait for the climate and conditions in life to be perfect before we feel safe enough to step forward, trust, and be our authentic selves. What we don't realize is that in order to create the ideal climate we are waiting for, we must be authentic first". ~ Sonia ChoquetteWhen we live in integrity, we are empowered and energised as we are connected to our Source.
We live our lives with passion, enthusiasm and love.
Know yourself, be true to yourself and Get Your Glow On :)
With Love,

Loved this. Need some quiet time to interrogate and absorb the advice, and answer the questions to myself. Woman's Day perhaps? Have tweeted it too.
