When I have a moment to pause in between the balls that life is throwing at me I have been trying to check out others’ online content. During the course of this endeavor I uncovered a gem. A Tedx talk by author Sarah Knight who was sharing her basic principles from her book The life-changing magic of not NOT GIVING A F*CK. I thought “Damn it! Why didn’t I write this?” (As an aside this is one of the things that I am working on, fewer “I should haves” and “Why didn’t I’s”.)
ANYWAY, her principles hit on topics that I plan to address when it comes to being authentic, such as getting your priorities straight, owning them, setting good boundaries, and doing your own thing (whatever that happens to be).
Check out this video, it is only about 13 minutes and it really helps to put things in perspective.
- Get your priorities straight
- Own them
- Set good boundaries
- Do your own thing
