If I'm living my life in a way that coincides with my beliefs, then I'm living authentically. If my beliefs change and grow, and I abandon things that I did or adopt new ways of doing things, then I'm now also living authentically. It doesn't mean I wasn't living authentically before.
This above ^ makes sense. It follows then when we don't have faith (confidence) in our beliefs, our authenticity shallows? Weakens? Becomes ambivalent?

i don't think it follows.
if/when my beliefs or values change, or if i hold to beliefs which i'm not sure of, doesn't mean i'm not authentic. i'm then authentic in my uncertainty.
the way i see it authenticity is about being "real", and i can be that whether i'm in black/white, or grey, or yellow.
i see no contradiction in being authentically ambivalent, for example.
