The challenge is the fear of rejection and of others' disapproval. We all have those moments in life when we're afraid to reveal parts of who we are. This is because from a very early age we've all learned to cover up our flaws. We've been taught that pain, conflict and weakness are negative emotions. The underlying message is to aoid revealing parts of who you are. You learn to camouflage weaknesses, hide failures, make excuses for mistakes, or resort to blaming others.

It's no surprise that we've lost the ability to be authentic when we're buried under all of these layers. Every day you'll be faced with new challenges. Use them as your opportunities for authentic discoveries that
lead to growth and change.
