    Embracing the Power of Core Values: Discovering Authentic Selves

    In this world of constant hustle and bustle, we often find ourselves stuck between multiple directions. We can either choose to live in alignment with our core values and offer our authentic selves to the world. Or we can choose to portray to the world somebody that we are not and be okay with the haunting feeling of being an imposter. It can be so difficult to connect with your authentic self when a thousand voices echo in your mind all day; different versions of the right choices clouding your judgement because you haven’t spent enough time figuring out your own voice.
