Embracing your authenticity is coming out as your truest self. There is a deep relief when you drop the pretences that you had adopted in order to conform to whatever model you thought you had to adhere to for acceptance, and you will quickly learn that your truest matches will respond in the most remarkable ways to you because you will be emanating the clearest, most beautiful vibration that draws them near, and from there your truest path will activate. That has been the real journey – coming to accept yourself in all your glory and giving others the opportunity to do the same. Simply put, when you deny yourself you not only constrain the possibilities available to you, you also deny others the joy of seeing and knowing the true essence of you, and that may be exactly what they’ve been searching for all along. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
