Living in a world of fakeness

Fakeness seems to be all around us.  News. People. Friends. Brands. Help. Information.  Every where you turn one must assess…truth from fiction.  Typically, something “fake” or being “fake” has a negative cloud surrounding it.  Now no one seems to care.  “Fake” is still going strong and seems to be gaining popularity.

Though we can’t stop the fake news or information from flying around.  We can certainly take action. I say let’s counter the fakers with authenticity or flash your sincere personality.

Here is a checklist of traits that genuine or authentic people share:

1. a strong, but balanced self-esteem
2. an ability to embrace his/her own vulnerability
3. to share your true thoughts and beliefs
4. to give and receive compliments openly
5. to really listen and prefer deep conversations
6. to be driven by inner voices and not surrounding people or pressures
7. an ability to be compassionate towards others
8. to have inner courage

Genuine. Real. True.
