Yes, living genuinely does take courage. It also requires us to tone down the importance to us, of what others think of us.

The catch for some of us, is that we are not only sensitive enough to see the value of a completely genuine life, but we are also ultra-sensitive to how others feel about us. If we are to live genuinely, then somewhere along the line we must devalue what others think of us, and re-evaluate what we think about ourselves.

It is after all — our life.

For living a world that's supposedly so supportive of "uniqueness," it's certainly funny how often creativity often gets shutout by those that don't understand it. TRULY being yourself takes a LOT of courage in my opinion... being able to stand up 100% for what you believe in and live for and know that there will always be people out there who strive to bring you down. I'm not going to lie, it's something that's taken me years to get better at, and I still learn new things all the time. Interesting thought, and one I’ve had many times myself.
