Trying to be Authentic

I really am trying to be more like Jesus this year. Not in a snobby, go to church every week, say the right things and read the bible every day sort of way. But more in how I think and how I respond.

My question to you is, how do I become more authentic? What steps do you think I need to take to achieve the freedom that comes from Christ. Feel free to respond...
