When not a single person is looking, who are you? Are you the same person that you present yourself to be when you are with others?
Without integrity, we are nothing. Our dreams elude us, honest friendships with others fail to survive and we cannot trust ourselves be cause we aren't actually who we are saying we are. Integrity is the most fundamental building block of life. Without it, what do any of us have? Without integrity, our word will mean nothing because it doesn't actually have any substance behind it and our actions are more of a random event taking place instead of something that is done with conviction and belief.
Yet, it's superb what number of people in this world function without a drop of real integrity.
How are you able to be different?
When you say you are about to do something, ensure it's already as good as done. When you speak about yourself, truly tell the honest truth. When you make promises, keep them. And amongst that, target the small things, because while they are the little details of life they demand your utmost attention and respect. If you can get the little things right, you are setting yourself up to get the big things right.
What will happen if you break your integrity? Admit your mistake and recommit to what you can.
It's funny how quick people are to really forgive when you are seriously upfront and admit your mistakes brazenly and with enthusiasm. Nevertheless if you refuse responsibility, folks lose their respect for you and will continue to go after you until you admit your mistakes.
It is way easier to be open and fair about your shortcomings and faults than try to cover anything up.
So build some serious integrity in your life and begin following through with your word. Not only will your life change, but your relationships will change as well.
