My Authentic Life:
Why Living a Betterlife is Important to Me

I am writing this post during one of my life’s most trying, dry seasons. It is a long, unhappy wait for something, a test of my faith.

This is why I want to talk about my authentic life and why living a better life is vital.

I had difficulty beginning this article because I needed to figure out where to start. Who will want to listen to someone whose life is not popping?

I was not in a great season of my life when I wrote this. I’m still transitioning from what my life used to be, and I’m tired of being here. I want to believe that my better days are near, and I do think so.

I want it to be better now in the physical sense. I strongly believe that I am better now! Not nearby! Looking at myself in the mirror and around me, I don’t see everything I see in the spirit manifested now.

It is better for declaration purposes because it genuinely reflects my desires. I know I have not sat in my current reality, which I see in my spirit.

My life isn’t horrible, but geesh, I want to be in a better place, and faking it is not an option. I need to be me. I need it to be me.

After examining my life where I am, I’ll celebrate my 44th birthday (Yes! It’s Aries season) in a couple of weeks. And at 44, all I want for my birthday is a better life than the one I’ve been living.

Understanding my season of life has kept me from jumping off my balcony and ending all this unnecessary madness.

It can be challenging to see the seasons of our lives, and it’s even more difficult to know how to live in them.

We know that seasons change naturally. There is winter, spring, summer, and fall. As the seasons change, so do our lives.

The Bible tells us in Ecclesiastes 3:1, “For everything, there is a season.” It also tells us in Ecc. 3:11, “God has made everything beautiful in its time.”

The first step to flourishing in any season is to recognize which one you’re in. To do this, you must be honest with yourself and your feelings about your current situation.

To know where you are. You must know who you are—the real authentic you.

Authenticity means being true to your personality, values, and spirit. It’s about resisting pressure to act otherwise. It also means being honest with yourself and others and taking responsibility for your mistakes. Your values, ideals, and actions align.

Currently, I am more in tune with myself than ever.

Why is Being Authentic so Important?

Being authentic is essential because it contributes to holistic well-being and encourages happiness, fulfillment, and high self-esteem.

When your actions align with your true nature, you’re more likely to pursue your passions. Believe in yourself and feel confident in your opinions.

I’m coming off the cusp of an old era in my life. I am entering a new life. I am now a widow and an empty nester. The passing of my terminally ill husband changed the course of my life.

I lost most of my confidence. I was right in the middle of the building. What was being built crumbled right before my eyes in the middle of the building stage.

I still own some solid foundation, but the building is nothing but memories and ashes.

On top of that, my two children have aged out of their adolescent years. And no longer need their mom like they have all their lives.

Although they still live with me at home, they have left and live outside of the nest.

I’m excited about this part, but I’m sad, too. Honestly, it has made me feel like my life is boring and meaningless.

I know this isn’t true, that my life has no meaning. But this is the way it is with complete sincerity. It has been a bummer feeling worthless.

I didn’t realize my identity was so much defined by being my husband’s wife and my children’s mother.

Of course, I will always be a mother as long as God gives me a breath to breathe.

And I knew my marriage was contingent upon whichever of us died first. I still hadn’t expected my marriage to end through death so soon.

I want to be happier and more in control. I want to cope better with life’s difficulties.

So, I got a coach to guide me through the process of living a better life.

Dr. Keith Johnson is my life coach and pastor. He has helped me connect the dots and realize things that didn’t make sense.

Today at the Wealthy Church (our online gathering), he spoke of “a dream and a piece of paper on the refrigerator.”

He has inspired me to reignite my desires and dreams. To do this, I need to write down the vision I desire for my life on paper and then put action behind it.

Dreams come to life twice: first in the invisible realm and then in the physical world.

Writing my vision down with as many details as possible will keep my goals before my eyes.

We must live our authentic lives. This unites us to the purpose God, the Creator, sent us here to fulfill.

First, we should connect our dreams to our purpose. But someone needs to make us aware of this. We must seek and find it by asking God and trusting Him.

What is The Secret to a Better Life?

To live a happy life, you must take care of yourself first. Get enough sleep, drink lots of water, eat nutritious meals, and exercise. These things can enhance your mood and boost your self-confidence. Always remember to focus on yourself by doing the activities you enjoy.

The other secret is to see the vision you want, write it down, begin working to create it and bring it to pass.

Here are some steps to make living your authentic self possible.

• Remember to write your vision down on paper. There is power in writing your dreams down on paper.
• Put what you wrote on the refrigerator or somewhere you will always see.
• Trust God in the process.
• Decide to get out of your situation. James 4:8
• Don’t give up or quit on your dream, even if it will take a lifetime to achieve.

Life can be a beautiful journey, a crazy ride, and a big adventure. But it can also be a living nightmare, a constant struggle, and a tricky teacher.

It’s all up to you.
