The Seed of Authenticity:  Awakening Principles

·        "Embrace the lifelong process of unfolding your strengths and acknowledging your vulnerabilities.

·        Constantly attempt to be more real and honest with yourself and others.

·        Move from being right to being real.

·        Admit your mistakes and have a sense of humor about it.

·        Go beyond perfectionism to being human; we are such perfectly gifted and perfectly imperfect human beings!

·        Pay attention to how your openness fosters openness and trust in others.

·        Have the courage to practice the strength of vulnerability (Cashman, 2003, p. 270)."
