Authenticity is something we ought to care about. It really affects our credibility on all fronts, both from others and to oneself. I always thought that the best thing you can do to the world is to live your life the way you mean to. I’m into rock music, and I’ve always admired those who go and play for benefit concerts and peace rallies and stuff. But a lot of times, they are not credible because their own life does not reflect the peace they are promoting. The best way to promote peace is to live a peaceful life.

This is something everybody struggles about, to some extent — from clergy to teacher to doctors. It’s hard to live what you preach. It takes the highest degree of integrity. But it’s a vision we must pursue, even if we fail occasionally. To do so otherwise is to compromise our own effectiveness. Even if nobody found out about it, you yourself compromise your self trust when you know you are not holding yourself up to the standards you are setting.

It’s weird how you got into my head like that, Robert.

Really super post, you said so much of what I’ve been thinking. It’s very encouraging just to know that others have similar experiences.

@Alex, Tim.
Thanks for the input. There is no right and wrong way, and we don’t have to be guilty about it.

Wish you the best, guys!
Robert

rummuser,
What changes have you made in your life from reading Robert’s posts? For me that’s the true measure of a post, not just the feel-good experience when one reads it. And change takes time.

I’m assuming Robert is applying what he writes to his own life, and that’s more important than just writing more words. Also the comments section of posts is a great way of discussing how we’re integrating ideas into our lives. A post isn’t just the initial words, it’s the interaction that follows.

Thanks.

Robert,
I just wrote this to bikehikebabe and to you:

I think it’s great that Robert is writing slightly less and working on his own life, otherwise his writing will be shallow. He’s still incredibly young and has a bright future.

He’s already written about a lot of ideas. One thing he could do is write shorter posts saying how he’s trying to integrate those ideas into his own life, and the problems he’s encountering…that’s where his depth will come from. Notice I’m saying “trying to”. For me at least, practicing what I preach takes commitment and practice. It doesn’t happen overnight. So by saying “trying to” I give myself plenty of time to keep working on it. It relieves a lot of pressure.

As you say though, we’re all different and I don’t really think there is a right or wrong way, it’s down to the individual.
