Rather, it comes from what you are, how authentically you're really living your life, and how much you are willing to give to something other than your own insecurities.","author":"Shannon L. Alder","tags":["authentic-self","be-yourself","growth","inner-peace","self-awareness","self-confidence","self-worth","wisdom"],"id":26435,"author_id":"Shannon+L.+Alder"},{"text":"An inexhaustible capacity to engage in sin is what makes human beings capable of living a virtuous life. To err is human; to seek penance is humankind’s unique act of salvation. Whenever a person fails, it is often their overwhelming sense of anguish that drives them forward to make a second attempt that is far more bighearted than they originally envisioned. The need for redemption drives us to try again despite our backside enduring the terrible weight of our greatest catastrophes. There is no person as magnanimous as a person whom finally encountered tremendous success after previously enduring a tear-filled trail of hardships and repeated setbacks. In an effort to redeem our lost dignity, in an effort to regain self-respect, we find our true selves. By working independently to better ourselves and struggling to fulfill our cherished values, we save ourselves while coincidentally uplifting all of humanity.","author":"Kilroy J.

Not because you’ll realize your desires are different from theirs, but because they are so similar. You’ll discover the difference between doing well and pretending to do well, between being happy and pretending to be happy, between healthy relationships and staged ones. You’ll see just how many obstacles lie on any path. You’ll realize that it takes the same amount of effort to work on building up the quality of the conversations in your life as it does to broadcast to the public, constantly, that those conversations are already perfect. You can either build up the mask or build up the authentic self. And you, brave and beautiful you, will make the right choice eventually. Be it now or on your deathbed. We all realize soon enough.","author":"Vironika Tugaleva","tags":["authentic-self","authenticity","comparing","comparing-to-others","envy","jealousy","self-acceptance","self-love","self-respect","social-comparison"],"id":38795,"author_id":"Vironika+Tugaleva"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":103,"pages":11,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
