    AUTHENTIC REAL SELF

    ~FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION- CONQUER YOUR INHIBITIONS~
     
    I was fortunate to spend last night speaking in New York City to a very special group of people. Men and women seeking a better, more fulfilling and empowering life.
     
    The Organization that I aligned with for the evening is called MANTALKS. This Organization was created to give men a platform to speak freely about life, relationships, careers and anything that may be on their mind.
     
    Not immediately knowing the type of crowd I would be speaking with, I developed a speech that talked about my life, my adversities and the stories of how I overcame those adversities and obstacles.
     
    As I began my speech, I tried to perfectly script the delivery in my head before it was "go-time".. preparing to give a gentler version of my typical sports motivation speeches to match the energy and tone of a more "creative" crowd.
     
    This took me off the pace. I started to tell a story that was soft, compassionate and overly dramatic- which is totally not my game.
     
    Then, as I was speaking and listening to my own words/delivery, I had a big moment. The moment of "this isn't me". This is not my tone. This is not my emotions. This just is not me. This isn't even my story chronologically.
     
    I was more worried about supplying "creative" energy and flow to match the room instead of being myself. I was truly pissed by this point. I have spent my whole life being me and in this moment of storytelling and sharing I decided to become somebody else? Following up a speech a gentleman just gave about overcoming the struggle of being somebody else nonetheless.
     
    Then it happened. I made the decision.
     
    I flipped the switch with one "self-coaching" moment mid-speech. I told myself "Remember who you are. You are a Coach. Now go Coach these people through your story."... So that is exactly what I did.
     
    Abandoning the slides and just getting down and dirty with my personal storyline about triumph, success and the highs/ lows of professional coaching.
     
    You see the greatest harm we can do to ourselves is becoming "inauthentic".. trying to be something or somebody we are not.
     
    It just feels so wrong. When you are able to "freely express" yourself, own your story and use that story to empower others, that is how you achieve greatness. People can feel your passion. They can feel your authenticity.
     
    There are so many people out there "faking" their way through life trying to be something or somebody they are not. The long term consequences of this type of behavior always lead you down the path of "pain". This pain can show up in the form of muscular aches and pains, anxiety, panic attacks, back pain, high blood pressure, IBS and even cardiac events such as heart attack.
     
    The freedom of expression is essential amongst people. People need freedom of expression to overcome their own inhibitions. People need a platform to share. Many people hold themselves prisoner to the thoughts they "believe" are true- even though they are based on the conversations in our heads.
     
    Coming from team sports you always had a team to get you through your darkest days.
     
    What I realized last night was how many people need a team. The average person is alone. They don't have a support system or team to get them through their journey. Some of those that do are a part of teams that are highly judgmental and inauthentic in their own right- a losing team.
     
    I am thankful for the opportunity I had to share with this group of "winners" and the opportunity I had to learn about myself.
     
    Never compromise who you are to please the room. Do you. Be you. If people don't like it... then too bad. Change your room!
     
    P.S. If you feel like you do not have a place to share or a person to share with, please reach out on the feed or privately. My greatest goal is to form a tribe of people that work together and help each other along. We all need a Coach to drive us forward.

    When the Bible states we are gods of the earth, I felt this truth during my encounter with Lord Meduza, the spell master. I’m Denzel Chau and I’m here to present the individual who transformed my life from poverty to becoming a multimillionaire Jackpot victor. I reached out to Lord Meduza for assistance with winning numbers and he successfully helped me after casting a lottery spell for me. I utilized the numbers to enter the Jackpot lottery and I was announced as the winner of $368,000,000. Acquiring the numbers from Lord Meduza took 72 hours and I want to express my gratitude publicly to him for his remarkable service to humanity and for deciding to assist me during my life’s lowest moment. Not everyone is meant to win the lottery but with the assistance of Lord Meduza, you can achieve it..

    To reach out to him, drop a message to his email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or Phone +1 807 798 3042. To learn more, go to his webpage: lordmeduzatemple.com and you’ll appreciate it later.

    I had to break up with my fiance and cancel my wedding cause I found out she was cheating on me with my best friend. I started really suspecting them with about 3 months to the wedding. A months after, it became unbearable and I just had to be sure, I contacted the hacker ProfessorVenom69 @ Gmail . Com that I found with good recommendations online for help and he helped me gain access to her email, social media, messages and calls. I saw their chats, was able to listen to their calls which was very bad. I was heartbroken and I summoned the courage to challenge them some weeks to the wedding, they couldn’t deny cause I had a lot of proof and we mutually decided to end the relationship. I am in a better place now. I told the hacker ProfessorVenom69@gmail. com that I would tell People about him if he really could assist me which he did. You can contact him if you need help
