Difficult to be authentic around others?

Maybe you haven't defined what is ''to be authentic''.

I find this word ''authentic '' just hard to understand to be perfectly honest with you.

So let's look for a definition - google authentic

Well after reading the definition, it does not help really.

Maybe worth diving in existentialist philosophy to recognise authenticity as the emotionally appropriate, significant, purposive and responsible mode of human life.

Accepting that you do not know what is to be authentic is probably a step to salvation. You can stop pretending that you know everything and just accept that you are still a baby that came out of the womb exploring what is the world about. You are just an inquisitive mind amongst many others bound in an imperfect body and an imperfect world. Then, you can relax around others, they are the same as you anyway, crazy kids...

What did I learn from analysing my expenditure after a year

In the following blog post, I share the results of two analysis. The first one is an analysis of my spendings by categories after a year, the second is analysis of what I want to achieve by category. The analysis contribute to my main aim which is to achieve financial independence. I am currently trying to pay a debt - 12K for a student loan. To do the first analysis, I downloaded all the statements from my current account in an excel format. I assigned a category to each entry. What are the results? I allocated 18% of my resources to my loan and the same amount to travel to France and have a couple of trip in the UK. I spent more money on conspicuous consumption than food.

A part of it must be to commute to work, then it is a mix of food shopping, outings, shopping and more outings. For the second analyy...

She stomped, she roared, she got very upset. What is the message she received? She will probably never know until she let it finally all go. Her attachment to the bush is to made her perished. Until, she wakes up and breathe in the storm of opportunities...

Welcome to Social Activator

The purpose of this blog is to log thoughts on social activism, design, marketing and community building as well as to review of fantastic projects within the community which strive to create spaces for people to share knowledge, skills, abilities and fun. My vision is for everyone to come to the recognition that they are social activator. They are change agents. They can create opportunities for other to find their own space in this world to create a better present for themselves but also for others. We are all activators. I have plenty of ideas on how this blog will be run. I will probably start where I am now in the UK, Leicester before expanding my reach. I will write down all those ideas and then structure my thoughts before moving to my next action. I keep you posted!
