Living in Truth

Did you listen to the better angels of your nature, or did you compromise for a short term advantage? The principle of integrity to your values seems to be a law of the universe. Whenever you compromise your  integrity for anything, it seems to be a great power of retribution that will not allow you to get away with it.

Consistent living with your values is the key to happiness, harmony, well-being, and high levels of self-confidence. You express these values in your words and actions. The actions you take in any point in time tells which values are uppermost to you or whether you have any value at all.

The choice of your actions tells unerringly who you really are. Integrity is an absolute requirement for successful human living. A failing in integrity or compromising your values, not only seems to bring about a punishment that fits the crime; whether in relationship, politics, business, or personal life. Thus, it creates a level of stress, unhappiness, and inner turmoil in the life of the individual.

The need for absolute integrity requires that you 'live in truth' with everybody and under all circumstances. I suppose you agree with me? Living in truth means that you'll never live a lie. How easily can we do that? It means that you'll never compromise your integrity for sake of a job, or money, or a relationship. Obviously many of us have fallen short of this. No wonder there are many broken marriages and relationships today. No wonder also we have not been unable to defeat corruption despite the fight against it. 

Living in truth also means that you'll always do and say what you know to be right and true, no matter what the short term cost or benefit. It means that you do not practice self-delusion. You face life, your relationships, and your circumstances, exactly as they are and not as you wish they would be. Therefore, living in truth means that you never stay in a situation that makes you unhappy which you feel for any reason is wrong for you.

More so, living in truth means that you set 'Peace of mind' as your highest goal and your core value, setting all other goals to be consistent with it. Thus, never compromise your peace of mind for anyone or anything else. Try not compromise your peace of mind and you'll understand how core it is to your success.

Do and say only those things that feel perfectly right for you. Thus, Roxana Jones says - "the words you write and say carry your inner signature. You are revealing yourself through them." So accept your own thoughts and feelings completely, whatever they are, and you systematically change each part of your life that is not giving you peace of mind. By so doing, you'll enjoy high levels of self-confidence that are experienced by the superior individuals, conquerors made by God in his own image.

Insisting that everything you do allows you to live in peace with yourself, you feel really superb about yourself and get along wonderfully in all your relationships. Remember just as Spencer Johnson say, "integrity is telling yourself the truth. Honesty is telling the truth to other people". Live in truth. #DubemickyInspiringGreatnessDaily.
