Sincerity

Good Morning,

Often when we really look at certain situations it seems more often
than not that somehow we really have it all backwards (a favorite
conversation around work). One aspect of life I often find humor in
is that no matter what you may think you are doing, it will be
perceived by others as the other way around.

If we agree too easily we often are not be trusted. If we disagree
too often we will not be believed. When we strive to be SEEN as
sincere, we most certainly will not be. For true sincerity is never
the result of contrivance.

Let go of your need to impress others, and you will indeed be
impressive. Let go of your concern for appearances, and you'll be
authentically sincere. The way to be consistently believed is to
always speak the truth, even when no one wants to hear it. The way to
be truly respected is to live the big moments and the small ones with
integrity.

If you always feel the need to hide the truth about what you are
doing (or not share your life at all), it's a good idea to seriously
reconsider your INTENTIONS. Nothing gained by deception will ever be
of any real value to you.
Say what you mean, be who you are, and do what you know is right.
Live with sincerity, and the pathways you follow will be richly
fulfilling.

Have a beautiful day and give this thought - Sincerity is not a test
of truth, it is possible to be sincerely wrong. Sincerity is being
genuine even when we falter.

Peace and Love, Jim
