Integrity for Alignment
The word "integrity" extends beyond individuals—it describes a quality inherent in people, places, and things. Competence takes this concept a step further in a way that personalizes integrity. This process acts as a catalyst, transforming routine daily practices into meaningful actions.
Rooted in the Latin word "integer," meaning intact, integrity encompasses being morally upright, the state of unity, and consistency in principles. As Zig Ziglar wisely noted, "With integrity, you have nothing to fear, nothing to hide. With integrity, you will do the right thing, so you will have no guilt."
Life often presents tests that measure your integrity. In these moments, your actions are a reflection of your internal integrity.
However, integrity in your daily life can be offensive to others, particularly when individuals stand by their principles, such as activists advocating for their causes or artists remaining sincere to their mission despite societal shunning. Your actions, rooted in morals, defines your internal integrity. It also shapes and influences your surroundings, environments, and relationships.
