Integrity

What does the word integrity mean to you? Integrity is a powerful word, you have to have integrity in your life.

Not to be misconstrued I looked it up, as the definition states: adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty; and, the state of being whole, entire, or undiminished: to preserve the in whole empire. And another source, it is a concept of consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, and expectations.

In layman’s terms it means to be righteous to yourself, say what you mean and do just that. Do not be dishonest to yourself and others.
My greatest pet peeve is integrity. I want your trust even if I do not trust you. I say what I mean and stand behind my word and I want that just from you. Humbly I ask is that to much..

It is annoying to listen to people talk at times, no actually it makes me angry. You know what I’m saying, followed by, you know what I mean or not finishing the fragmented sentence with, I mean. No I don’t, what are you saying and what do you mean. No wait, thank you I will ask someone else. If you are commonly ignored maybe you should reconsider what you say to people and discover integrity.

Once I discover someone does not tell the truth you have lost my interest at times long before it ever got started. I want integrity in all my relationships and friendships. it’s the principal of the matter.
