31 Days of Gratitude: Integrity

Candid. Forthright. Honorable. Principled. Sincere.

The deepest, authentic expression

of yourself

requires a commitment

to integrity.

When you can look clearly

at strengths and weaknesses

in yourself and others...

When you can put principle

to your intention

and rise above small agendas and desires...

When courage means you

candidly share your viewpoint

rather than bully, berate or coerce...

When you honor the humanity in another

While recognizing we each are accountable 

for how we conduct ourselves...

Then 
You embody a wholeness that is

true strength.

You embody a trustworthiness 

that allows you to face whatever comes

with a measure of peace.

You allow grace.

...

I am grateful for examples of integrity that inspire me and uplift humanity.

I am thankful for the internal "radar" that signals me when I'm in or out of integrity. 

I am willing to grow in authenticity and integrity.  

How deeply might your life be enriched
