Sincerity and Compassion

Hello Super-Stars! I hope you are all doing well. Sincerity is described as, "A state or quality of being sincere." I believe we try to be sincere, or honest, in all of our day-to-day interactions with others but, that there are times when compassion may interfere with our quest to be sincere. Compassion is described as, "Sorrow for the suffering of others." Our sincere intentions may be sidetracked by our compassion for not wanting to hurt another. I have had first-hand experience with this dilemma.

My whole life I have tried to live by the ideals of the Super-Star acronym. Basically, to just be nice and polite; to be sincere and honest; to be understanding and compassionate; however, I have found that these Super-Star qualities are sometimes counteractive to each other. It is at times impossible to reconcile two opposing actions because the result is hurtful or, produces complete inaction.

The crossroads we face when confronted with being sincere, but also compassionate, may make it difficult to decide which road to take but, if we are careful, we may very well be able to take both roads in the end. First, be sincere...then, be compassionate to how your sincerity has affected the other party. Hopefully, your compassion will heal the wounds your sincerity may have created. When you show how much you really do care, most people will understand that you were not being malicious and that your intentions were honorable. Please be kind to one another in a sincere and compassionate manner.

Think - Live - Be - A Super-Star!

In love & light and, with much appreciation,
Glenna :-)
