Living your life with integrity should be something we all embrace. But in today’s society we do not need to look very far to see people who do not appear to follow that mindset.
To have the courage to face the truth is a tall order. The main struggle with “the truth,” is that people may define what the actual “truth” is to be different from each other. People view things differently. What we have to agree on is that although it is fine to disagree, we should give each other the chance to discuss a point or an opinion.
The truth should be centered upon actual reality, and go from there…not what something thinks is actual reality. The truth is what is happening right now.
How we respond to the truth is what makes us who we are. It is our reputation. It is what other people see and behaviors don’t lie.
If you find yourself in a relationship or a job that “forces” you to behave differently than what you know is right, move on. Your reputation is all you have. You have one life and you need to make it count. Don’t waste your time and energy in a situation that does not allow you to live with integrity.
Be the person you can be. Develop goals that head you in that direction, regardless of your situation today. You can do the right thing. Start making a difference today! “Now, let’s get going!” xo Sally
