When you are finally coming into your authenticity and truth everything changes. Last year was the year I was truly beginning to live from radical authenticity. Since then, this has expanded rapidly. I remember speaking to my dearest friend and soul sister and telling her that I felt that I was finally becoming who I really am. Her reply was, as always, beyond wise. She told me that I wasn’t becoming anything. I was simply returning to who I had always been. Boom! Truth bomb!
Moving forwards is about shifting your identity. Not to become more, but rather to reclaim the lost and hidden parts of yourself and to shine these brightly.
Shifting Your Identity
Many of us, myself included, have been used to playing small. Not stepping into our power and living from a reduced version of ourselves. The time for this to stop is now. To change this you have to shift your identity. That means coming back to your power. Boldly. It’s embracing your authenticity and truth unapologetically.
You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
- Matthew 5:14-16
It means not caring one bit what people think of you. You’re beyond that now. When you start living in your truth and authenticity it no longer matters. You’re not reducing yourself for anyone or anything. It’s not just your right to shine your light brightly for all to see, it’s your God given duty. Read that again.
Release Old Friends
During this process it might be necessary for you to release old friends and acquaintances that keep you stuck in your old identity and way of being. Often our old network can’t come with us where we’re going. They have already put you in a box, tightly sealed and labelled, and are often not able to support you when you step into your authenticity and truth and start to swing big.
This is the time for you to create a void in your life in order for new people, who are more aligned with your essence, to come into your reality. Most people are not willing to do this and therefore never manage to solidify their new identity. Why? Because the void is deeply uncomfortable and your old identity will do all it can to drag you back to the safe and secure. Don’t be fooled. Any short term relief you may experience by giving in to this temptation will jeopardise your future, your potential, your calling. It’s not worth it. Instead, stay strong, embrace the solitude and prepare yourself for the best. Not for better. Best. Because that is what is yours if you have the courage to truly claim it.
Expect Greatness
It’s now time for you to expect greatness and miracles. Nothing is impossible and everything is possible. Don’t tolerate listening to other people’s limitation and lack. Don’t indulge in worry or ‘realistic thinking’. That’s for normal people. You’re not normal. You can be if you want to. But why would you? Normal is the definition of average. Surely you should aim higher than this.
Normal is the definition of average

Your biggest task now is to hold and solidify your new identity and to feed your body, mind and soul with uplifting, inspiring and motivating information. What you consume, you become. That goes for food, music, entertainment and information. When you start to respect yourself you feed yourself in such a way that enhances your being.
Remember that what you see in the 3D is an illusion. It’s not real. You believe in it and its limited narrative at your peril. In the spiritual realm, which is the only thing that endures and is real, anything is possible. There is no limitation. There is no lack. Everything in the 3D has been created from a spiritual essence. Everything stems from source. Everything is possible. That extends to you and your life.
All things are possible to him who believes.
- Mark 9:23
Here’s a lovely video for those of you who believe in God and scripture to give you peace, strength and courage on your journey back to yourself:
This is the year you move forwards. If you have the courage to step into your truth unapologetically. It’s time. It’s high time. You owe it to yourself, your past self and your future self. It’s not about you anymore. It’s about contributing powerfully by living from your essence.
This is how you can contribute most powerfully to a better world. Not by playing small or staying the same. The world needs you to be in your power and to set an example. It’s your time to shine my friend. I can’t wait to cheer you on every step of the way and to celebrate everything that you are.
It’s your time to move forwards ✨

Thank you for the reminder, I needed to hear this! I do feel I am in the midst of changing certain friends for this reason
Your soul sister mentioned the wisest thing in a sentence, Hege. You are fortunate that you have discovered and realized it. The post will surely inspire some to shake off the identity what they are not and get immersed in their true hues. And then miracles certainly occur. God bless you, Hege!
