I found this article and thought it was worth sharing. To be our most authentic selves, we must be people of integrity. We must be honest, reliable, humble and good stewards. Enjoy this article written and published by Brian Tracy.

Integrity is a value,
like persistence, courage and industriousness. Even more than that, it
is the value that guarantees all the other values. You are a good person
to the degree to which you live your life consistent with the highest
values that you espouse. Integrity is the quality that locks in your
values and causes you to live consistent with them.
Integrity is
the foundation of character. And character development is one of the
most important activities you can engage in. Working on your character
means disciplining yourself to do more and more of those things that a
thoroughly honest person would do, under all circumstances.
To be
impeccably honest with others, you must first be impeccably honest with
yourself. You must be true to yourself. You must be true to the very
best that is in you, to the very best that you know. Only a person who
is living consistent with his or her highest values and virtues is
really living a life of integrity. And when you commit to living this
kind of life, you will find yourself continually raising your own
standards, continually refining your definition of integrity and
honesty.
