Integrity

On the very first occasion, when all of us rode a bicycle successfully without collapsing, we didn’t notice in that way. What we did notice is we distinguished balance. From then on, it wasn't essential to first distinguish balance before riding the bicycle again, we got on and rode. Balance, once distinguished, is a permanent effect. And, once we'd distinguished balance, riding the bike and everything else in the entire physical universe, for that matter, create a — new realm of possibility.

The very first moment, when we distinguish the domain of integrity as honoring our word―a condition of being whole and complete, and a necessary condition for workability and actionable access to high-performance. And once we did identify integrity as honoring our word, living and life itself created a ― new realm of possibility. In which integrity plays a focal role.

Although both are grounded distinctions: integrity doesn't affect like permanent balance. It's not in its nature. Unlike balance, we must generate integrity again and again, over and over, and on every single occasion.

Once having distinguished the balance and from then on, never losing it. We know the cost of being out of balance. We don’t have to generate balance over and over again, balance effects like permanent. Once having distinguished the integrity and from then on, never losing it. We know the cost of being out of integrity―failing to honor our word. We ought to reduce ourselves as a person of integrity and reduce being whole and complete, creating unworkability. We have to generate integrity over and over again. As integrity declines, workability declines. This is how it is with integrity.

Integrity is a stand we freely and ongoingly choose to exercise. It’s not a pre-conditioned behavior. Integrity doesn’t imprint like balance. The good news is: we're human beings: we can always generate integrity.
