Chapter 11: Being Real and Genuine, Wearing less Makeup
Being Genuine, takes a little practice over time.  Try to be the same attitude and way with EVERYBODY.  You don't need to put on airs or act differently to please different people.
Decide Who You Want To Be, and make it who you are, and Be That...Be Yourself.  You are you when nobody else is around.  Can you be yourself in the presence of others?  I can.
Being genuine is more than who you are, it's being Honest in all situations and having integrity and ethics.  People need to be ale to trust you.  You want people to be able to trust you, trust you to be yourself, to make strong decisions, to tell the truth, to always do the right thing.  You want to try to be Genuine.  Honesty is the crucial thing,  If you're being honest, then you're being Genuine.  Be straightforward.  Dont sugarcoat things...be kind, be present, be compassionate.  if you are sad or angry, be so.  It's part of being real.
Another way to be more real and genuine in your life is to wear less makeup.  eye makeup makes us all look younger.  But isn't it soothing to show your loved ones the way you look underneath it all, underneath the makeup?  Revealing imperfections and flaws is part of being honest, real, genuine.
In closing, You Know Who You Are.  How You Choose To Reveal That To Others, Is All Up To You.  Me, I try to be genuine, honest and real.  it's good advice from a thirty year old.  You want to be loved and known for who you truly are. Don't be afraid to be yourself.  God made you Beautiful in every way.  You are beautifully and Wonderfully made.  God Loves You.  Pray for this Grace.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen,
