Real authenticity starts with the realization that there's nothing as real as 'beingness. You become authentic when you realize that your true self is a state of being - an energetic signal more than a persona. Authentic people stay true to themselves because deep down they know that their frequency makes them unique. This awareness gives them the freedom to embody any state of being they desire without losing their core identity. Authentic people are connected to the frequency of truth, so whatever they aspire to be, they allow themselves to 'be it and eventually 'become it. They don't need the world to validate who they are. Their validation comes from channeling the truth of their soul.
