What's interesting is that being genuinely authentic requires no effort or trying. In fact, when we attempt to be authentic, we fail - because we have some idea about what being authentic means and are trying to leverage an idea instead of the real deal. Exploring fakeness and inauthenticity will lead to the real. The false will always dissolve, the real endures all scrutiny, curiosity, and exploration. The real embraces focused inquiry. Unlike the fake, which always has sacred cows that are not to be challenged. Andres - love the questions. What’s interesting is that being genuinely authentic requires no effort or trying.
