Good morning Col Burroughs. A lot of people seem to have problems being who they really are. They want to fit in and so they hide their authentic selves. This is emotionally and intellectually exhausting. Be brave and show the world your authentic self. Some will appreciate that and others will not, but that's okay.

“Authenticity will attract those who follow – leaders become a magnet with confidence and fearless resolve when are the ‘real deal!”. Always be that real person that people can look up to and want to follow. May you always be authentic and have a positive attitude in everything you attempt to do for your own goals and dreams; and be positive for those around you; may you always keep yourself strong and in the best condition to tackle all your objectives; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy during these uncertain times in our history. Don’t try to be somebody you’re not. Be the real you and authentic throughout your life. Have a great Tuesday.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs. Henry David Thoreau underscores the call for being authentic. Every day is another chance to do just that. A line from Shakespeare suggests why we should accept the invitation: "To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man." Cheers.

I recall the great line From Thoreau when he was jailed for not paying his taxes in protest of the Mexican War. His friend, Ralph Waldo Emerson was walking down the street and saw Thoreau looking out the jail window.
"Why Henry, what are you doing in there!"
Thoreau answered, “Waldo, the question is what are you doing out there?”
Good stuff. Thoreau was authentic.
