WHOSE VOICE IS IT? part 2

Last week I talked about communicating as the authentic self.

When you are true to your authentic self, you decide what matters to you, and then set standards for yourself to live up to in the areas of life that matter to you. Sometimes you try to live up to the opinions and expectations of others, and because it doesn't come from your place of power, it is a struggle and you are not good enough in the eyes of others, and sometimes even in your own. It deprives you of critical life energy needed to live on purpose.
