Integrity What Is It Where Does It Come From?
Tonight I wanted to talk a little bit about integrity what is it and where does it come from? I’ve been doing a 30 day challenge and have discussed a variety of topics. Today being day 22, so if you’re just joining me make sure you check my stream, or past blog posts so you don’t miss any important information I’ve shared. So, integrity what is it?
Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles, moral uprightness. I saw a quote today, it kind of talks about our character a little bit. But I think character and integrity go hand-in-hand. I think that falls back on integrity a little bit.
“Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking”
Being a person with integrity is pretty important. You’ll want to be trusted by other people, especially if you’re building a business. You will want people in your business to trust you. You want people to know that you’re a person of your word. People want to trust that you’re there for them, not just their money. So it’s really important to have integrity in all aspects of your life.
I find that if I trust somebody I’ll do business with them faster than if I don’t trust them. If I trust someone I expect them to be trustworthy. When I think about my business, I want to be a person of integrity as well. I don’t ever want to be that person that people look at and say “I can’t trust you”. You want to be that person people trust, look to for advice, that people look to for answers. Basically people that can be counted on when they’re needed. People with integrity are people who’s words and advice can be trusted. Some might even become your top advisers, or mentors.
So for me, I want to have integrity, it’s important.
Thanks for visiting my blog, I hope you got some value.
