As we become clear and specific with our intentions, words, and actions, the more we will attract others who share the same ideals, which will, in turn, tune us into our authentic selves.
Forgiving yourself is an integral part of finding your authentic self. When we learn to release the pain and suffering we have caused to the self, then we can begin to truly love ourselves.
How we label ourselves keep us connected to our ego. Letting go of labels and defining yourself by who you are not what you do will reconnect you with your authentic self.
