Root & Meaning: Latin genuinus, native and natural, from gignere, to beget. The Lie: The real me isn't enough. The Truth: Genuine means natural to you, already enough. The Declaration: “What's natural to me doesn't need to be edited to be enough.”

Root & Meaning: Greek authentikos, original, done by one's own hand. The Lie: I have to be a version of someone else to be accepted. The Truth: Authentic means made by your own hand, not copied. The Declaration: “I am original, not a copy of anyone else.”

Root & Meaning: Latin corona, a wreath or garland of honor. The Lie: I have to fight for recognition. The Truth: A crown is given, not seized. The Declaration: “What's been placed on me, I don't have to grab for myself.”
