Integrity (Part 1)

   Integrity

   Very popular but less functional.
Integrity is simply the state of being wholesome (i.e. sound and healthy, promoting moral and mental well-being) and unimpaired (i.e. not rendered less effective).

Let's do a simple mental class. Give your own definition of integrity while I give mine.

STATE-BEING OF SOUND AND HEALTHINESS/WHOLESOMENESS.
Integrity is taking your first bath of the previous day around 12:30 am of a new day.

STATE OF UNIMPAIRED.
Integrity is starting a meeting by the set time regardless the number of people present so as to be able to meet the set closing time of that meeting

On the other hand, Integrity is doing the right thing at the right time in the right place with the right materials with or without the right people to watch, supervise or judge.

Are you a being of integrity? Do you keep to you words? Have you a firm Yes and a solid No? Do you compromise a little bit? Do you bend your values and standards to please others? Then you need to make a decision to start living a life of integrity.

A life of integrity is a life of sincerity, honesty, uprightness, rectitude, unity, wholeness, purity, goodness, probity, virtue, and decency. Let them be complete in you and see how interesting life would be. Life is stocked with greatness only when we have Integrity + Relationship with God as our password.

Friends, choose today, to live a life of integrity!

Please do not forget to tell me your definition of INTEGRITY. This is the first step to take, no one is watching. I’ll be glad to receive your definitions.

Thank you for reading and do have a wonderful week ahead.

    I for one belong to the school of thought that certain concepts like integrity cannot be fully defined, we often opine that words cannot fully interpret,explain,express and elaborate the meaning of these concepts in everyone's mind. but for this occasion I can simply regard it as being pure or honest to another regardless of situation even if it means bending some things but staying on d ryt track, the world is in disarray u need to bend sometimes contrary to ur opinion to have or show integrity

      Yeah, someone with a plain character, really true but do you know someone could be with an unquestionable character and still not live an integrated life. Think abh it, it's very possible

    Integrity has to do with your ability to say or do something under the umbrella of a positive cause, and stand by what you did under every negative circumstance.

    Nice writeup. Keep it up.
    INTEGRITY should'nt be confused with PERFECT. One who is SINCERE in his/her dealings could be tagged a person of integrity while perfectness, could be credited to God alone. This explains why three blind men touching an elephant from different part will describe it in different ways. Man cannot be faultless he appears either good or bad according to individual sentiment. We should be mindful of our obligations to Man as we should to God. Therefore, integrity is being sincere to God and Man because service to humanity is service to God.

Mis-Take

A mistake is simply something you missed in an attempt to take it and that means you can always make a right take in your next attempt.  Come out of regrets! If you made a mis-take, attempt a re-take so that you can make a right-take. Don't let a wrong step give birth to a wrong life and a wrong future... Successful people are ex-losers who got mad with failure.  Every event is invented by someone, everything that ever gets done is done by someone (Hebrew 3vs4). Without a movement there cannot be a move... You can't resist the Will of God and receive the Grace of God at the same time. Life is a Race on the line of Grace. Outside the line is outside Grace. Grace fuels the race for life to be productive, meaningful and at it best... Welcome to October, the month of freedom and independence. God's grace shall answer for you and your family. Do have a wonderful public holiday and enjoy the rest of your week. Great Minds Mental Digest International

Life Expectations.

Life is all about challenges, obstacles and hurdles towards achieving the great height of success. Our reaction to these present the person we really are. Expectations in life is a very critical issue but so many of us sees it as a norm.  Like everyone should have what they are expectant of! Dont get it twisted, when I mean expectation, I am referring to giving and receiving. Sometimes ago, a friend of mine was critically ill but all glory to God he struggled to recovery stage, at the point of recovery, he picked up his mobile and started listing out names of friends to eliminate from his life. Why? Some even go as far as saying; "Its God that allowed me know the kinda person you are" cos they at some point don't meet up to your intents. I really don't blame him, he expected so much from his friends with the thought that he once rendered one assistance or the other to them at some point which in turn make them indebted to him. My de...
