It is great to know how to spot people who are genuine and authentic. These are the kind of people you want in your corner. These are the kind of friends you are looking for. Let’s take a look at some things that seem to be across the board with those who are truly authentic.
~They look inward
Whenever something arises authentic people turn inward to understand the situation and what effect it may have on themselves and others.
~ They have realistic ambitions
They desire to be successful and they are realistic in their approach. People who are authentic know their limitations and are willing to grow and learn with reason. They are not pipe dreamers.
~ Authentic people are team players. They are compassionate and want the entire group to reach to goal.
True team players are hard to find.
~ People who are authentic learn from their mistakes. They don’t dwell on the past, a mistake is simply practicing for the future.
~ They say what they mean and they mean what they say
