Being sincere

Sooo... How to be more sincere or genuine. "Sincere" means to be without pretense and "genuine" means to be real. Does that mean everyone around me gets to see every facet of my moods? Does that mean that I should say whatever comes to mind? I don't think so. I think authenticity means so much more than that. Yes, I should be able to share my struggles, taking responsibility for them and striving to be better. Yes, I need to say what I mean and mean what I say. And while I need to be without pretense and real in my communications, it all needs to be balanced with kindness, humility and wisdom. It's all about being the person God designed me to be, nothing more or less.
