Becoming a Person of Integrity
Integrity
is a value, like determination, courage and seriousness. Even more
than
that, it is the value that guarantees all the other values. Meaning that You
are a good person
to the
degree to which you live your life consistent with the highest values that you
adopt, Integrity
is the quality that tresses in your values and causes you to live
consistent
with them.
Integrity
is the foundation of character. And character development is one of the
most
important activities you can engage in. Working on your character means
Disciplining
yourself to do more and more of those things that a systematically honest
person
would do, under all circumstances.
To be perfectly
honest with others, you must first be perfectly honest with
yourself.
You must be true to yourself. You must be true to the very best that is in
you, to
the very best that you know. Only a person who is living consistent with his
or her
highest values and virtues is really living a life of integrity. And when you
commit
to living this kind of life, you will find yourself continually raising your
own
standards, continually refining your
definition of integrity and honesty.
