Core Value 1: I am true to myself

I’m going to go through my core values over the next 10 days. I developed these in 2019 after seeing a post from Ryan Stewman about how important core values are and they are a living document.

1. I am true to myself. This one is pretty self-explanatory. I used to be the version that I was programmed to be by my upbringing, society, and my environment. This one is number 1 for a reason.

You can’t be true to anyone else unless you are true to yourself. Until I took the biggest risk of my life in December and came out publicly about who I truly was, I was dead. I was trapped in a shell and going through the motions of life.

While I did help people here and there, when I could, I was not authentic and I have found since that I can help a lot more people if I am authentic, which is very important to me. So I will be myself for the rest of my life. If you don’t like it, then see ya!

I would rather be myself on my worst day now than be trapped in a meaningless existence like I was a few months back. Being your authentic self is extremely important if you want to live a quality, fulfilling life.
