Without Our Integrity We Stop Living

By Evan Sanders


When no one is around you, are you the same person?

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 relationships with others fail to exist and we will not trust ourselves be cause we aren't really who we say we are. Integrity is the most fundamental building block of life and really living. Without it, what do we really have?

Who could really trust us if we don't actually do what we said we are going to do? Could you even trust yourself? Not really. But isn't it incredibly how many people in this world seem to not care about their integrity?

So how can you live a life with integrity?

Do what you say you are going to do. It doesn't matter if you say it to yourself or to someone else, you must do what you have committed to. When you make promises, keep them. When you say that you are going to do "whatever it takes" to achieve something, stay in line with your words.

However, there are going to be times when we break our word. What do you do?

It's funny how quick people around us are to forgive when you're up-front and admit your mistakes. Nonetheless if you reject responsibility, people lose their respect for you and will continue to distrust you no matter what your reasons or excuses are.

It is much easier to be open and truthful about your mistakes and faults than try to cover things up.

It's time to build some integrity in your life and begin to follow through with everything you say you're going to do. Your life will change, your relationships will thrive, and you will start moving forward quickly.

Because truly, without our integrity, we are nothing.
