I am Authentic.
I am made up of my own unique thread.

I am Genuine,
painting my values into my life with each stroke I make.

I am true to myself.
I am honest with you.
I represent my true nature and deepest beliefs.

I speak my truth with Honesty.
I deliver my truth with Empathy.
I offer my truth Gracefully,
Guided by my ethics and morals, circumstances do not sway me.

I cultivate the courage to be imperfect and vulnerable,
taking a bow when I am in the wrong.

I know when to stand and speak strongly.
When to assert boundaries,
allowing me to live my life parallel to my deepest knowing.

I view life through a lens of curiosity,
seeking to understand,
learning the new lessons at hand.

I sit and listen so that I can support you in your Authenticity,
Helping others rise, even when I need to step aside.

I navigate life with my bona fide internal compass,
Intuition as my ride or die.

I lead my life mindfully, honestly, and with empathy.
I am Authentic.
