I was not authenticity at all.
Authenticity, how do you measure that?
True to yourself
Being very sincere
You have your points straightforward
Honest in the way you present yourself to the world
Why was I not authentic?
1) I lied to myself that I am not capable for any new opportunity.
2) Every time I was challenged, I was whining about the problems.
3) When I had to prove my point, I would subconsciously switch to showing everyone how big my problems are.
4) Whenever had to keep a thought in public, would doubt myself and would convince myself that keeping my thoughts to myself was okay.
5) Kept procrastinating, be it searching my lost diary or be it sending that one email.
6) People got a negative vibe and they eventually stepped away.
Was I authentic to myself?
NOT AT ALL
I slept saying to myself I will bring everything on track- from tomorrow.
I knew I was lying.
I knew I was just finding comfort.
It costed me a lot…!!!
Lesson: Comfort zone is beautiful place, but nothing grows there.
