When no one is around you, are you the same person?
Are you the same person? Or are you someone completely different than what you present to others?
When we lack our integrity in life, we truly stop living. Our word means nothing because there's nothing substantial to back it up, we lose our relationships because people can't trust us and most importantly, we lose faith in our ability to do what we said we were going to do. Integrity is incredibly important and one of the most fundamental building blocks of life. When we lose our integrity, we lose ourselves.
Without integrity, our word will mean nothing as 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 incredible the amount of people in this world that function without a drop of integrity.
How can you be different?
When you say you are going to do something, make sure it's already as good as done. When you talk about yourself, truly tell the facts. When you make promises, keep them. And among all of that, focus on the little details, because while they're the small aspects of life, they demand your attention and respect. If you can get the tiny things right, you are setting yourself up to get the large things right as well.
However, there are going to be times when we break our word. What do you do?
Always admit to your mistakes. Don't wait for someone else to bring it up. Instead, beat them to the punch and tell them exactly why you are sorry for what you did and how you are going to fix it. It's amazing how many people will forgive you for being so forthright and honest about the situation.
It is a million times easier to be open and honest about your mistakes than to try to cover them up completely.
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.
Because without integrity, we really are nothing.
