Hey there 👋
If you are like me, doing the wrong thing is seductively easy.
Imagine getting hungry in the afternoon and having to pick between an apple and a bar of chocolate. You KNOW you should pick the apple. But just the thought of chocolate makes your eyes go 😍 and leaves you feel warm and fuzzy.
There is nothing wrong with picking the chocolate. Except when one of your major values is physical health.
You value health = you should pick the apple.
The choice becomes one of integrity. It's about acting in line with your values and doing the right thing.
Of course nobody will say you are a person with low integrity as a result of picking the chocolate. But even small decisions like this illustrate the gap between your values and your actions. What if the decision was between writing your thesis (apple) and browsing social media (chocolate)?
Today, we will explore what integrity means, the challenges you face in maintaining it, and the steps you can take to lead a life of integrity. Enjoy!
