Authenticity Beyond Perfection
- Authenticity is not about perfection or just originality but about honest presence.
- True connection comes from showing your real self, not performing to be liked or accepted.
Dora's Journey to Authenticity
- Dora Kamau tried to imitate her meditation teacher but felt exhausted and not authentic.
- Her teacher pointed out she lacked her own truth and personality, teaching her authenticity begins when you drop the act.
Consistency Defines Authenticity
