What would the world say if it knew the real you? One evil lie is whispered to you softly every day…“Are you kidding me!? Who do you think you are? You don’t have what it takes. You gotta wear that mask because we both know you’re a fake.”
You’re listening to that whisper… every day. Do you hear it?
We’re all secretly hiding behind the mask…. hiding our true self. It’s just safer and easier to play the part we think the world wants from us.
So, we wear our masks. We play the part.
We wear our masks so we can pursue things like security, comfort and status. That’s what the whispering voice is selling to us every day. And we’re buying it.
But security, comfort and status won’t completely fulfill. Deep down you know that, but are you willing to admit it to yourself? The world aches for the real you. The world aches for your authentic self. It aches for your gift.
Authenticity would mean lowering our mask. Exposing our true self to others. We can’t do that, right? Seriously, lower the mask? That’s crazy. That would mean… Vulnerability and Risk?
YES! Authentic vulnerability and sweet risk!
The truth is we’re all meant for a battle, a battle for authenticity. A battle you’re well armed to fight. You’ve got what it takes inside you. But until you lower the mask, you’re unwilling to step into that fight.
Authenticity is what the world wants. No… it’s what the world needs! You can’t live out your unique purpose on this planet until you’re willing to lower your mask and step into your authentic role, until you’re willing to give the world your authentic self, until you’re willing to step into that battle and fight.
There is a very real resistance in our world. It’s an enemy. That resistance will push back with innuendos and lies just to keep your false self showing and your real self… your true gift to the world… in hiding.
Resistance has got you right where he wants you… intimidated, wearing a mask and sitting in the corner. “Now stay there!” He’s shouting. How much longer are you going to listen? How much longer are you going to obey? How much longer are you going to take it? How much longer are you going to rob the world of your gift? How much longer will you hide your authentic self from us all?
Lower the mask, get ready for the battle, and find your why.
"Every man dies. Not every man really lives." -William Wallace, Braveheart
We’ve lost our why and we need to find it because that’s where our passion lives. Call it a purpose… a destiny… an authentic life of significance… a life that doesn’t just settle for success, but a life that risks vulnerability to live a more authentic adventure, a more fulfilling and authentic life.
You’ll know your calling because you’ll be drawn toward it, while at the same time you’ll sense the cold threat of the enemy’s lies, the whispered voice of resistance, that evil reminder of risk, fear, and doubts. It’s the fear of change, the unknown. Resistance is talking to you again. Pushing you right back into your corner…
Not this time! Drop the mask. Step into the battle. It’s time to stand up for yourself.
Where are you men and women of courage? It’s time to live your authentic life!
Let’s stop pretending! Let’s live out our calling. Let’s give our gifts to the world! Be the person you were born to be. It’s time to step into the battle!
Let’s live the AUTHENTIC LIFE! You were meant for so much more.
