Why do so few people lead a life of integrity? What is the inconsistency of our actions due to? What can be the solutions and perspectives that help us to be consistent with what we profess?
Integrity is a vital value to be able to prosper on the path of life. It is the factual compromise between thought and action. Nothing of true value and growth can be obtained without the constant and determined application of an integral purpose, that is, one that is in line with our deepest thoughts..
The surrounding reality shows us a fluctuating pattern of existence. The value parameters oscillate as if they were stations. Nothing has an everlasting, genuine, and inherently positive value. Whole behavior is supplanted by "convenience" patterns. Our attitudes conform to what the circumstance demands or requires, thus producing ways of be chameleonic, with little integrity and consistency. And what is it that generates this poor attitude in others and in yourself? A huge distrust.
On the other hand, a way of being generalized in people, which, proclaim a series of attitudes and thoughts, but model other completely different ones. We could call it the syndrome of inconsistency and dishonesty.
They establish a series of parameters or codes on which they base their existence, but the different personalities that they "have" to adopt according to circumstances and environments clearly modify their vision. We stop being ourselves, to live a life without prominence, we stop being consistent with our deepest vision to meet the demands of others. We stop being upright and true in each of our intentions to be people who move on the border of the politically correct.
It may be that this attitude saves us some troubles and allows us to satisfy the vast majority of people, but deep down we know that we are not acting according to the dictates of our heart.
There is a serious misalignment of our integrity. The greater the difference between our actions and our values, the worse our life will work and the less happiness we will get from it. What is the reason for this? The reason is that your words are not accompanied by your actions.
A powerful internal conflict occurs, since we cannot evade the message of our conscience, which urges us to follow our particular path towards fulfillment. You can ignore or not take into account what you know should be done, but you can never mitigate the voice of your conscience.
Is in the internal reflection of this thought when integrity comes into play. You become aware that there can be no happiness, growth and contribution, if your way of being does not fit your values and deepest visions. This is when the necessary shift towards true fulfillment occurs. You become the one who acts according to what he thinks, who leads by example of action.
Ralph Waldo Emerson reflects the supremacy of action with this powerful thought: "What you are doing speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you are saying". You can say that your main priority is your family, but if your family does not appear clearly in your activities program, the only certainty is that your family is not your main priority.. Your daily action is the one that speaks for itself and catapult your way of being to maximum integrity or poor inconsistency.
Integrity is key to establishing solid, productive and trusting relationships. It is a value that shows our commitment and responsibility with everything we undertake.
Create a positive and safe environment, which aspires to the highest standards. Every person who has reached the top has been a person who acted with integrity in every necessary step that had to be taken to fulfill their objectives. Integrity, in a sense, is the essential truth of who you are, reflected in your attitude.. It is the maximum level of congruence.
Your life can take a powerful turn if you are able to apply this vision firmly and tenaciously. You will become the one who Preach by example, the one who leaves evidence at every moment of its existence its values and its approach.
You will live harmoniously and happily, knowing that your life is a true reflection of your deepest thoughts and desires. Start manifesting today the highest version of your being being whole with every little footprint you want to leave in this world. Your life will never be the same again, I assure you.
