"Be impeccable with your word.
Speak with integrity. Say only what
you mean. Avoid using the word to
speak against yourself or gossip
about others. Use the power of your
word in the direction of truth and
love. -Miguel Angel Ruiz, Mexican
author (1959 - )
Integrity is the ability yes when you
need to say yes and no when you need
to say no. It's when you have the
choice to do something contrary to
the Bible's teachings and decide to do
the right thing. In other words,
integrity is the characteristic and
ability to do the right thing,
regardless of the situation. For
instance, if you have the opportunity
to take a job in another state but
your wife says no, and you have the
integrity and honesty to agree with
her because maybe the hours are too
long, like 18 hours a day. So you say
no and keep your integrity.
Integrity will keep you in the game of
life if you expect to live. Integrity will
help keep you afloat my friend.
Having integrity as part of your
overall character is better than being
labeled a libelous, downright dirty
son of a truck liar! So, in general tell
the truth and do the right thing in all
times. No need to get shot!
Integrity, remember this, will keep
your ship afloat when the storm
rages! Press on!
