Sincerity
Saying what you truly feel
Giving true compliments
Apologizing when you’re truly sorry
Helping others with true intentions
Not faking affection to others
Not trying to cheat others
Not making up a facade while you hide the true you
That is being sincere.
No matter how difficult the situation is
You address it with an open mind
You face life with the thought of doing good,
Not swindling others out of what is theirs,
That is sincerity at its peak!

A sibling to empathy A relative to sympathy An expression of love Compassion encompasses a horde of emotion Dishing out kindness in every stride Loving and hurting for others Giving itself so others are in their right space Devoid of selfishness No iota of self centeredness Compassion makes you remember that you were given all you have And everyone deserves a better life too!

More than being thankful, it shows regard More than being grateful, it shows respect It not only strengthens the present, it builds bridge to the future ‘Cause a grateful heart always receives more Gratitude expresses your innermost self Gratitude expresses kind heart From the little acts of kindness appreciated To the grand gestures embraced Gratitude is an attribute virtuous human And it is a virtue worth having

What does it mean to serve? Does it mean you’re beneath the person you’re serving? Or that you just don’t measure up? Or does it mean you are in the position to help others? By offering them an opportunity to get things right? Service is putting yourself in the position to help others Bringing yourself down to earth so others can climb and not fall Making yourself the footstool that elevates others Service requires courage Only the bold can serve Only leaders serve! Service equates leadership.
