Today's word of the day is "Sincere"

"Sincere compliments cost nothing and can accomplish much. In any relationship, they are the applause that refreshes."

What makes someone sincere?
Sincerity isn't as common as you'd like to think these days. With so much of our interactions occurring through online profiles, it almost comes naturally to people to pretend to be something other than what they truly are. They use fake profiles and hide behind insincere personalities.
This is why it can be so surprising when you actually meet a truly sincere and authentic person. If you are blessed enough to have this person in your life, love them and cherish them.
Here are just a some characteristics of a truly sincere person, and what you can expect from these kind humans:
- Sincere people are not afraid to look and appear weak.
Sincerity means being yourself and caring about yourself, NOT what other people think of you.
Most people are afraid of looking weak and vulnerable, to the point that they'll do their best to hide their true feelings. A sincere person doesn't care about looking weak.
- They give compliments without a second thought
They are not afraid of what other people might think, or the egos of those around them. They praise and admire whenever it feels right and when people deserve it, deserve it meaning they do not just complement people to blow smoke up their butt to get them to like them OR to get them to do something in return. They understand the importance of spreading love and letting other people feel joy and pride, and they want to be a part of that when they can. There is nothing else to it.
- They care more about their values than the world around them
A sincere person doesn't let outside influences affect them and what they believe. They do not go against their own values and beliefs for ratings and to be more popular than their own. They are driven by those inner values, beliefs and that matters more than anything else.
- They treat everyone with the same level of respect
Whether it is a CEO or a janitor, a sincere person will see every person as what they are, another human on earth that is deserving of basic respect and kindness.
There are some who only use respect as a leverage to get what they want from people on their climb up the social/career ladders. Once again, going against any moral beliefs and values they once had in order for a little more money in their pockets or getting ahead.
But genuine, sincere people understand this is wrong.
- They give without expectations
Sincere people do things because they want to, not because they get to reap some feel-good brain chemicals from it. They do these things without being told because they want to stay true to their values. They show compassion and kindness even when no one's looking or when no one else wants to show up.
- They are always seeking out knowledge
Sincere people look for genuine growth in themselves. They're always looking to push forward and they do not need an audience to do so. Sincere people never think they're too good for the world. One of the main reasons why they seek out knowledge is because they don't run with their egos and think they've got everything figured out.
- They are themselves
Nowadays there is so much pressure to be someone they are actually not. Sincere people don't care about putting up a face.
They don't feel like they need to be someone else and enact people-pleasing behavior to belong to a crowd. In fact, they don't really care about belonging to a crowd. They will never make fun of people, or talk behind someone's back, just to earn other people's favor, they won't participate in activities or go against their beliefs just to "fit in" and be popular. It is not a good look.
- They hold themselves accountable
Above all, sincere people are easy to trust because they hold themselves accountable for their actions. This does not mean that they are perfect and incapable of hurting others, they are only human, BUT what separates them from others is their integrity to do what is right.
They hold themselves to a high enough standard that they take responsibility for the consequences of their actions. They never try to evade consequences or manipulate others just to get others to agree with them. They are big enough to face the issue head first and use these opportunities to grow and become a better person.
Just because sincerity is rare, doesn't mean you have to be a "special" kind of person to be sincere. If you are looking to add value to your life and grow into a genuine person, start with a few of points I listed. At the end of the day, sincerity is about being honest with your shortcomings, facing them head-on, and being true to your values and beliefs and doing what you need to do to become a kinder, more empathetic person.
I believe in you! You got this!
