Integrity: A recurring theme.
In the course of speaking to radio interviewers about The Laws of Lifetime Growth, a particular question has repeatedly been asked: “What is the role of integrity in lifetime growth?” We thought it worth sharing some of this discussion with eNews readers because it gets right to the heart of the role of values in growth. It’s very difficult to keep growing without integrity, and many of us face this issue more often than we realize, even as honest, morally upstanding individuals.
Being out of integrity.
People talk about “a lack of integrity” or “being out of integrity,” but what does this mean?
Literally, “integrity” means “wholeness” or “coherence.” Things that have integrity have the strength of being consistent and unified in their make-up. This can occur at a variety of levels, from large-scale public integrity down to the individual level of personal integrity, and even internally as we privately face the challenge of aligning our thoughts, habits, and unconscious beliefs with our core values.
