Authenticity vs. Sincerity

"Sincerity implies trying – authenticity implies fact. Being sincere is about being what you really care about and being who you really want to be, not just who you are.

I don't hate authenticity. It definitely has its place. But I think it's overrated. Authenticity should never be the goal. Authenticity is for knowing where we are so we know how to improve."
