And we don't want to show anyone, because we have these expectations of who and what we are supposed to be. And even though we know that we can't possibly be the only one suffering, somehow we have been trained to believe that if we show up in our truth, in our authenticity, that we will not be accepted. That our truth will not be accepted, our authenticity and our vulnerability will not be accepted. In some cases, that is true

Well, welcome to swell. That was a hell of an entry. Thank you. That was an incredible, incredible swell. And, yeah, thanks for stopping. Stopping on and putting that down. Wow. I can't believe you led with that one. You're going to have to be authentically and thought and authentically happy, but also terrified because it's going to be a hard one to top. It was a good swell. Thank you. Thank you. It was excellent work

You and thank you. Yeah. Just trying to see what this is all about here. So that's what I'm all about, is authenticity. So I figure, hey, why the hell not? If I'm going to go in, I may as well go all in, right? But, yeah, thanks. And I'm looking forward to hanging out more. Bye

Hello, this is Maurice. And thanks for this. Well, I listened to this two times before I decided to make a comment on it. It's beautiful because that is the way I think. So this life, we spend so much time thinking about how to please other people, and we live very little time for ourselves trying to compare ourselves to others and do things what society wants us to do. And to the point that you don't even know who you are

You. Thank you so much for that reply. I apologize for the late response. I'm still learning how to use this app, but I really love what you shared and your insights and perspectives and just how those different principles apply to each and every one of us. It reminds me of something that I had a coach tell me many years ago, and hopefully this doesn't sound offensive, but it's funny because it's true

You. Hi Jentrey, you are very welcome and thank you too for your comment. Just like you, I also have my struggle. I was married for 24 years. Then I became a single father, raising five children alone for 16 years. Three boy s and two girls. Now they are grown, living independently. But throughout that time, it was a time where sometimes you have a doubt because people will say things. They hurt me
