The Style of Authenticity

I am a follower of a popular blog called The Daily Love, which is written by Mastin Kipp. Recently something I read in the blog really got my wheels turning. This is what I read:

“Life is messy. We mess up. We have great moments. We have horrible moments. We have brilliant moments. The goal is to allow and admit them all. To be willing to look bad, silly or goofy. To not aim for perfection, but rather express ourselves as we are, strong, scared and in human form. “

I absolutely agree with Mastin’s assessment of life! In my opinion, the question his words beg is this, “If being oneself is the most natural thing one can do, why so do few people make authentic living their goal?”

Here at Styling with Shavonnah we are all about helping people style their lives so they can be their most authentic selves.  That said, it’s only fitting that we share our Top Three Reasons Why Being Authentically You is Cool:

1.       You are absolutely unique, so not being you robs the world of your gifts/talents.

2.       Only in being authentically you can you show up fully for life and receive all the blessings that are designed for only you.

3.       You have known you your whole life, so you are an expert.
