When it comes to getting things done in life, a pattern of behavior beats a claim of sincerity every time.

All the promises of “sincerity” in the world mean nothing, without the follow through to back them up. In other words, I don’t care how much you claim to be sincere; if you repeatedly fail to follow through, you’re not.

When you repeatedly fail to live up to your commitments, being “more sincere” when you apologize for your failures MEANS NOTHING!

One’s actions are all that matters. Sincerity is nothing but a label we put on past experiences to describe people who actually did what they said they’d do.
