To be authentic to me means to be pure and real.  With inanimate objects, there are certain qualities that is has to have to be authentic.  But with people, I believe that the only person than can tell you how to be your authentic self is yourself.  

Matthew 5 Verse 15; No one after lighting a lamp puts it under a bushed basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. To me this message tells us to be ourselves and show it to the world.  Some may tell you to hide your light but keep your light shining.
