To have INTEGRITY is to have a pure and honest heart, a willingness to grow in awareness of what is right and wrong in each situation we find ourselves in.
Perhaps, when we fail at being a person of integrity then we allow ourselves to be guided by the values and interests of others. This is an easy mistake to make and yet deep within ourselves we know what is right and wrong.
Next step in being a person of integrity is to have the courage to do what we believe to be right,even at the cost of standing alone.
Good friends are essential if one is determined to be a person of good character. We are so easily swayed by the values of the world and the environment we live in.
A priest I knew was in the habit of saying... ' What would Christ do?'
Then in the quiet moments of our lives, we can simply say, ' I want to be a person of integrity!'
We will become what we want to be.
