Integrity is one of the qualities you need in order to have a fulfilling life.
Having integrity means having moral uprightness, honesty, and strong moral principles.
No matter how enticing an offer seems, or how grand the prize is, if what’s being asked of you goes against your values of honesty… you can turn your back on this offer when you have integrity.
Personal integrity involves being the best, most honest and morally-sound version of yourself.
Developing Integrity:
- Live with honesty and keep your promises.
- Show compassion and sympathy/empathy towards others.
- Create a personal mission statement for your life.
- Maintain a dedication to your values.
- Figure out what is most important to you.
- Choose a cause selflessly.
- Assess what you consider to be the meaning of life.
- Find ways to live with greater mindfulness.
Your integrity may stem from your religious beliefs, your personal goals in life, or from some other formative experience.
When you work on improving your personal integrity, you enrich your own life and improve the lives of others.
“The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.” – Bob Marley
