I will love people and use things.
We are not pawns to be manipulated and used for personal gain, but that’s exactly how some of us treat others - if it will benefit us in some way - at work, socially, politically and even with family. Integrity-based people always seek to build others up, supporting and encouraging them to victory. People who lack integrity take a more selfish approach, focusing on their own agenda without concern or regard for others.
Our integrity is the benchmark by which we’re judged by others and will determine the quality of people we attract into our life - friends, peers, associates - and the “inner circle of influence” we enjoy as a system of support, personal growth and wealth.
We are interdependent beings - we’ve been designed to interact with each other. Choosing to interact from a place of love is what people of integrity do.
On a final note to this series, it’s my unbending belief that people of integrity live richer lives - in health, wealth, relationships and spirituality. With so much riding on the quality of our lives, living an integrity-based one will not only have us sleeping better at night, but will reciprocate rewards wholly unanticipated.
With love and gratitude.
