authentic life (a poem)
Inspired by the upcoming talk, "authentic life", in the Keep Pursuing Series:
One life.
Your life.
The one you
Were created to live.
One life.
Your life.
The one that holds
Gifts the world
Can only receive
Through you.
Chris Brickley.
Harry Mack.
Hakim Tafari.
And so many more.
Showing us what it means
To honor their truth.
To live authentically.
One life.
Your life.
Guided by passion,
Fueled by desire,
Energized by your heart,
And strengthened
Through service.
But the key,
The foundation—
Alignment.
Spirit, mind, and body,
In harmony.
An unshakable unity
To protect
At all costs.
Society whispers.
Family shapes.
Trauma scars.
Education molds.
And the truth—
That a more authentic life
Awaits—
Remains hidden.
So many live
Blind to the life
Designed exclusively
For them.
One life.
Your life.
The authentic life.
To live authentically
Is to live with purpose.
To feel fulfillment.
To find contentment.
And to give the world
What only you
Can offer.
Imagine this:
A trust so deep
In the Universe
That you surrender—
Completely—
To your heart,
Your intuition,
And the flow
Of life itself.
In that state of surrender,
Authenticity flourishes.
Still unsure?
Look up Michael Singer
And his experimentation of surrendering.
The authentic life.
The one life.
The life you were meant to live.
Bringing your gifts,
Your talents,
Your light,
Into a world
Waiting for your unique touch.
If the Universe were a puzzle,
Each of us,
A piece.
Your piece—
No one else’s—
Completes the bigger picture.
One life.
Your life.
The authentic life.
