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.

Secret Disciples

Secret Disciples When we do things in life, sometimes we think we do them out of pleasure, or out of personal interest but we are totally wrong. Especially when we do them for personal interest,we feel no one is watching us except God. Funny enough,some of us even know what are engaged into is very wrong and we intentionally say " God forgive me, I just have to do this" or 'Father in Heaven, forgive me for this thing am about to do'.    The plan truth is that there is one little person whom we do not know exist,sitting somewhere watching us- our dressing,our moves,the way we react to issues of life- in fact watching everything about us. That little( or maybe an adult) person is called our SECRET DISCIPLE. May be referred to as Secret Admirer also.     Our secret admirer wants to be like us,wants to do everything we do,imitate and imbibe our lifestyles - sing the songs we sing the way we sing them, make the same moves we make with our hands and head, follow the p...
