What follows is my opinion from 15+ years of being on the inside listening and observing professional speakers and writers of all sorts.
Quite remarkable isn’t it?
All the advice on the web and in print. Anyone can publish anything.
Most of us aren’t writers. So we have no clue at a conscious level about embellishment and editorial license.
Embellishing is easy. And hard to disprove. So we believe everything we read.
But do these writers and speakers practice what they preach?
Rarely.
But there are a few.
Very rare.

Alas, life is tough.
Much of our life is based on fairy tale imprinting.
Our brain compensates by accepting prevailing thoughts or concepts that may no longer be true – and may have never been true.

Or maybe we just make it tough because we aren’t willing to buck the heuristics.
Buck the heuristics. Double entendre intended.

In fact it’s quite the opposite.
Authenticity is the new currency in your dad’s life. Has been since January 1, 2009.
Insight: Fear is nothing. Authenticity is strength. And peace.
