Being authentic can be difficult in a world where blending in is sometimes the easiest path to take. Being your true self takes courage. You have to be willing to stand up for your beliefs, show the world your quirks and hidden talents, and make your voice heard. It often takes time to find the strength and confidence to live authentically.
Here are twenty traits that authentic people have mastered!
1. They think, then speak
