Daily Thoughts

Integrity. Integrity is a word that gets thrown around a lot. It is also one of those concepts that is a core value for me. As I was thinking on integrity this morning as part of the daily ritual, the thought came to me that we talk about how the integrity of a machine, a structure, etc. can become compromised, resulting in the failure of that machine, structure, etc. This is true in my life as well. The choices I make regarding my physical, mental, spiritual, and financial health can either strengthen or weaken the integrity of each of those or begin the process of collapse. It’s important to keep track of what’s going on, because small failures to pay attention today could compound into catastrophe at some point in the future. Integrity is doing what’s right even when no one is watching. Integrity is the glue that holds our lives together.
From where I sit, I have learned the importance of paying attention to what I value and make choices to maintain the integrity of who I am.
