Suzanne Mercier - Monday, April 05, 2010
I have talked before in my newsletter "Beyond Limitations" about the journey to authenticity being about stripping away the masks and layers of protection we've put in place.
Now that I'm talking regularly about authenticity and what stands in the way, all my own issues around authenticity and imposterhood have come up one-by-one to be examined and addressed. I feel as though it's been a bumpy ride over the past few years, yet one where I have learned so much about what it means to be authentic. Occasionally, I get caught out and become conscious of feeling not good enough. It doesn't happen often and it's clear to me that the triggers that used to set me off don't even register now.
It's not until I look back that I see how far I've come on this journey. I even allow myself to celebrate now. After all, where I am today is the most authentic I have ever been as an adult.
This journey is about convincing the imposter to step down - not about bludgeoning it into submission. It's about enjoying the gradual reveal of who I really am underneath. You too?
What do you think? I'd love to hear.
All the very best
Suzanne
