Authenticity

About a year ago, I found myself doing some self exploration to help guide the next steps of my life. Along the way, I made a "mind map." Here is a look at a website like the one I used for guidance:  http://litemind.com/what-is-mind-mapping/.  I made heavy use of clipart and photos I found on the web as well as words I found meaningful. 


One of my favorite words was "authenticity." And since then, I have been thinking about what that really means.  Tonight I came up with this:  Authenticity is when your actions match up with your values.

Like, duh, right?

So... my goal is to spend time doing things that express what I value.

I believe this assists with mental peace...  So, I'm counting on it!
