Personal Honesty and Integrity By Junior Wilson

Being 'in intergrity' means not only accepting responsibilty for your actions, but also being true to yourself, having self-respect and taking good care of all aspects of your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual being.

Are you doing the best for yourself and your body? Are you stressed out? Are you eating and/or drinking too much? Are you running on adrenaline? Are you overlooking problems? Are you avoiding telling the truth? Are you not taking adequate time for yourself?

A person who is 'out of integrity' is like someone whose spine is out of alignment - their total being is unable to operate at its optimum capability. When your life is out of integrity, things tend to go wrong and you're highly likely to blame others. You'll know when your out of integrity because there are significant gaps between what you say and what you do.

You can start to enhance your own personal integrity by identifying 10 areas of your life where you're not currently telling the full truth - either to yourself or others. List them and then write next to each one the actions you will take to address it and the date by which you will have completed them.

HONESTY OPENS THE DOOR TO SUCCESS

Successful people have cultivated the habit of never denying
to themselves their true feelings and attitudes.
They have no need for pretenses.

Once you accept yourself completely you don't have to
maintain a phony front, or feel insecure if people don't
tune in to you and what you're doing.

Visualize what you really want,
not what someone else wants for you.
Don't forfeit three-forth's of yourself to be like other people.

First say to yourself what you would be
and then do what you have to do.
