Freedom and self-acceptance are the natural outcome of living in authentic alignment with your own values. Feeling the need to pretend, manipulate or control others comes from the fear that you won’t be able to get what you want or keep what you have if you’re completely honest. Ironically, honesty is the only way for either of those two things to happen. When you trust and believe in yourself, you naturally act from your heart. This attracts the people and circumstances that resonate with the real you, so you’re comfortable being yourself. And that…

Is true freedom.
