Integrity in all Relationships
In a world obsessed with getting things done faster, sometimes getting things done the right way can take a back seat. The temporary gains you get are never worth the cost of operating without integrity. Even if others on your team or in your industry are taking short cuts and seem to be getting ahead, you should continue to approach your relationships with integrity. You are one person away from your next opportunity so handle all relationships with integrity.
“Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.” ― Oprah Winfrey
Today’s affirmation is a simple reminder of the importance of living and working in integrity:
I approach all relationships with integrity.
I treat every relationship as if it is my only one. The people who come in and out of my life deserve to be treated fairly. I approach all relationships with unquestionable integrity.
I am honest with friends and family. Even when the truth may feel uncomfortable, I do not withhold information or use information to manipulate others.
I am honest with co-workers I am competing against for a promotion. If there is information to be shared among us, I share it. I avoid withholding information for personal gain.
It is important that people can take my words and actions at face value. I feel peace of mind when I am completely honest.
Even though my honesty may produce unfavorable results, I feel better maintaining my integrity.
My focus is to act in accordance with my morals and conscience. If I can be true to myself, I know I can be true to others. I believe my ability to maintain integrity starts from within.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. Am I honest with others when I realize they try to deceive me?
2. Are there relationships I am forced to put aside because the other person does not act with integrity?
3. What lessons do I teach others who I have direct influence over about relationships and integrity?
Today, I celebrate my relationships. I love the fact that people around me feel safe in my presence. I treat others how I want to be treated. I know friends and strangers alike see my actions as honorable.
