“Do you have integrity?” I was asked this at Richard Robbins conference a few years ago. As I looked around the room, 99% of the people in attendance had their hands raised. Richard then asked if you had ever made a commitment to yourself – to eat better, be organized or get to the gym. Then he asked if we had ever not lived up to that? Have we ever made a choice to lie to ourselves and break a commitment? All the hands went down. He made the point that if we couldn’t have integrity with ourselves, how could we extend that in our dealings with others?

I recommend the book – Integrity: The Courage to Meet the Demands of Reality by Henry Cloud. It is a great book that outlines the importance and elements of integrity. Among the highlights and points of the book, he included what he thought were the essential elements of integrity -

· The ability to connect authentically – which leads to trust

· The ability to be oriented toward the truth - which leads to finding and operating in reality

· The ability to work in a way that gets results and finishes well – which leads to reaching goals, profits, or the mission

· The ability to embrace, engage, and deal with the negative – which leads to ending problems, resolving them, or transforming them

· The ability to be oriented toward growth – which leads to increase

· The ability to be transcendent – which leads to enlargement of the bigger picture and oneself

Carpe diem,
