Integrity: the state of being whole and undivided.

Integer-Latin-wholeness

When we have integrity of self we fully participate with who we are. We are aware of the intricacies that make you, you.

Not necessarily a need for the same through our entire life but in each season, being aware of self and letting the integrity of who you come through.

Similar to a building. If it is built with integrity it is solid, whole, firm.

Not only should we be aware of ourselves but we should also be sure to take care of ourselves. Know what we need and take action to fulfill that.

Integrity of self gives us freedom to engage in what is specific to us and say no to that which is not. Integrity of self gives permission to focus on the essential parts of ourselves and disregard that which does not fit.

For example, I am loving my family more fully when I realize I don’t need to spend the extra 10 minutes checking social media at night. The integral part of my life is my family, not my social media account.

We are bound to ourselves. We cannot escape it. When we realize this, we are free to engage as we are, with what we have. There is freedom.

Not only is it freeing but it is also the way for most impact. Potential can be unleashed when we act with Integrity of Self.

Who are you? What is at the center of your three circles? What makes you whole?

Go after that!
