“A lot of the conflict you have in your life exists simply because you’re not living in alignment; you’re not being true to yourself.” - Steve Maraboli

Attachment and authenticity, our two needs as human beings that if not managed well can lead us to living the lives we do not want. Being authentic gives us freedom, joy, and fulfillment but it is quite challenging to do, for when we become really attached to this world, our current operandi is to never be ourselves.

Although attachments help us survive, they can also limit us from being who we were meant to be. We need to be more aware and accepting of the attachments we have and let go of those that do not serve us.

Being true to ourselves is a decision we must consciously and intentionally make every single day.

These are just some of the points that Dr. Ray Sylvester and I have been delving into in the past few weeks as we started a new series of podcasts centering on the all-important subject of attachment and authenticity.

Join us today, as we embark on the last part of this sequence, but not the last stop of the journey to discovering your true self.

Learn how you can turnover your negative attachments, maximise your talents or your unique gifts, and most significantly transform yourself.

Stop holding yourself back.

Be uniquely you.

Highlights:

• Disproportionate attachments can have negative impacts on someone’s progress.
• To be authentic is to deliberately commit to time with self and to be present in a moment.
• We limit our potential when we make our attachments based on competition.
• Talent needs perseverance and passion to grow.
• Transformation comes from the renewal of the mind.

“Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It is about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.” - Brené Brown

Our attachments begin to form from inception as part of our survival mechanism. They are our way of navigating through the world we live in. However, there are those that limit us from being our authentic selves.

It is therefore imperative that we recognise and let go of the ones that do not serve us, as well as understand our necessity for authenticity. How do we do this when our attachments are connected to our everyday interactions?

These are some of the points that Dr. Ray Sylvester and I will delve into today’s episode. This is already the third part of our new series of podcasts.

Join us in our profound conversations on the incredibly significant matters of identity, attachment, and authenticity. We will also further touch on the impact they have on our lives and the importance of looking at who we are at our core.

Nothing is more fulfilling than being true to yourself.

Give yourself time to reflect on the things you are attached to in your life.

Stand up for your deeper purpose.

Highlights:

• Thriving is becoming authentic through your own decisions.
• The need for attachment is stronger than the need for authenticity.
• Attachment is our way of navigating around this world, while authenticity is finding who you are and having a deeper sense of purpose.
• Symbolic interaction is a dichotomous assessment of identity.
• Our reflection space helps us move into authenticity.
• You are addicted to your attachments if you are busy being busy.

Important stories:

• 2:34 Identity formation.
• 5:59 Attachments can unknowingly impact our lives.
• 8:38 The challenges in education in relation to attachment and authenticity.
• 10:09 My own attachments.
• 13:20 Moving from social identity to authenticity.
• 16:55 Dr. Ray Sylvester’s attachments.
