We all go through life attempting to discover our authentic selves. Self-discovery is one of the most valuable exercises we can undertake because we learn our true talents, desires, and life purpose. As we learn who we are, it is often challenging to stay true to ourselves, succumbing to the pressures of society and the opinions of others in our lives. Yet, the best gift we can give ourselves is the gift of authenticity. Additionally, authenticity allows us to see others in their own light as opposed to our own expectations. That is the greater gift, for in allowing ourselves to be fully authentic; we help others to be themselves in our presence and accelerate their own self-discovery.
