The only way you can be your AUTHENTIC self 24/7 is to stay true to it. If you set authenticity aside at all it's gone forever. Right?

Once lost authenticity can never be regained as the same entity it was before you betrayed it.  Each time you try to reclaim it there is less of it there. It gets smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller till  here is nothing left of the person you were once upon a time.  What on earth could possibly be worth that? Losing yourself forever?

    And just what is our "AUTHENTIC self"?   Who determines that?  Only we can for ourselves.  Or are we to think and act only the ways we were taught to growing up?  We have the ability and wherewithal to aspire and think so we decide who we want to be and how we want to be that and we should. "Authentic" is but a sales term. We can be what we want to be for the reasons we think best or even for the worst reasons!
