• Discover your true identity.
  
  
• Strive to be honest in the sense of allowing your behavior and speech to be a true and spontaneous expression of your inter feelings.
  
  
• Live in a way that expresses your real desires and characteristics. Know yourself.
  
  
• Authenticity is the reduction of phoniness toward the zero point.
