Your identity is up to you. Your credibility depends on your authenticity.

What does that even mean?

“Authenticity comes with risks. The risk of being misunderstood. The risk of not fitting in. The risk of internal conflict between honoring your authentic self vs the pressure to be socially accepted. However, despite its challenges, authenticity is always worth it.” Ash Alves
