How to be sincere

I loved this little article from The New Happy. To be sincere, there are two roadblocks you have to overcome: connecting with your true nature and overcoming the fear of expressing that nature.

Try This

Here's the first step: ask yourself, what is the most loving thing I can say or do in this moment? Love takes many forms: being kind, yes, but also being brave, daring, empathetic, considerate, patient, and strong.

Figure out what is needed in this particular moment. Then, if that action scares you, acknowledge the fear.

Many of the most loving acts are scary to practice, but taking them will lead you towards a better outcome.

One helpful exercise is to grab a piece of paper and write down three things:

1) the outcome you're most afraid of,

2) the likeliest outcome, and

3) what you'll do for both.

Finally, take the step: align your inner goodness with your expression. Sincerity in action.
