Is it including some of your personal journey into your work, wathever it may be, to be authentic? I am very confused when it comes to authenticity because I am not sure of who I am, I just try not to think about it.

On a side note it will be interesting to hear your thoughts about codependency and its correlation to fascination towards coaches, teachers, spiritual gurus, etc. I've followed so many people throughout the years looking for advice to improve and I have sometimes thought there is a thin line where some and myself have fallen into thinking this 1 person's opinion or perception is more valuable... and at the end there is no "ultimate truth" or where do my actual thoughts come into place if I am only looking forward for these people's ideas

And good insight re: fascination & codependency. I mean, if I'm being completely honest - it doesn't hurt to have someone believing that this "1 person's opinion or perception is more valuable."

That's certainly good for business.

And really, I think we're all kinda looking for that one person who has the perfect/right idea. I know i would love to find that person... it would make my life a hell of a lot simpler. I'm just pretty discerning and skeptical, as it sounds like you are... so I feel confident that we'll be safe.

That said, as the leader/teacher/guru, we can't take all the responsibility for someone "falling under our spell." Provided we're not being fucking assholes or taking advantage of the power... we have to do our best to reach & touch the people we're supposed to reach & touch.

Hi Carolina. There is no question that including some of your personal journey is an essential component. And I think your confusion about authenticity and not being sure who you are makes perfect sense... sounds like a healthy perspective to me.
