Life as an Authentically Living LBS.

Very interesting question and one that I am honored to respond to.

how have you started to live your life authentically?

To summarize…..

I live my life for me and only me…(it may sound a bit selfish but it is not). Let me give a couple of examples….

Ever do something for someone that you didn’t want to do? Then when you do it you end up feeling pissed? Well I don’t do that anymore. That is not to say that I am rude or inconsiderate – rather to say I am living my life the way I want to and on my terms.

I have removed every mask, every preconceived notion of the ways things are supposed to be, and just things as they are. I really do focus on “doing me”. I worry so much less about what others think or say about me. I focus on me and MY happiness.

Detachment has become my friend. I have deeper relationships now and although some of them may not be what “society” deems normal – they are the friendships that I want.

I live a peaceful life and try not to over think things that I cannot control. I have learned and embrace that life changes, people change…that things work the way that God wanted them to work. I no longer feel the need to “understand” why.

I have learned true forgiveness. Have finally found myself and I am living life on my terms.

I am still a work in progress but I have accepted that to some extent I always will be.

I am much better partner and currently in a relationship with a very nice young lady…..so life is good. That said, I do understand that people/life changes and that everything we think is “ours” is really God’s. So I trust that at the end of the day, God knows what he is doing.

OH…and I finally realized and ACCEPTED that I cannot control everything or everyone and that true love is really the ability to let go…….let go in love.
