Integrity And It’s Role in Your Life

Written By Colēgia

Honesty and good morals are two of the most defining aspects of integrity. Trust is something that we need to build towards since it's a sign we feel comfortable working alongside others. People who have a strong sense of integrity are often considered more trustworthy. Today we want to talk about a few ways this plays a role in your life and some ways to work on it.

Dependability

Being dependable is a great quality since it ensures that people can count on you when they really need it and vice versa. As people, we're social by nature and this is best seen in the communities we're part of. We want to feel that we're comfortable with those around us and the best way to do this is by helping others when we can. The world runs on good deeds and kindness and it starts with our own thoughts and actions. Some ways we can be more dependable is by offering help even when we're not always asked. This sort of initiative can make it easier for people to be open to what you have to say since it comes from a place of sincerity.

Following Through With What You Say

A true sign of integrity involves doing what you say and following through with it. This is extremely important since it's far too easy to not commit to things when someone else is counting on us. This applies to ourselves as well since if there's something we want to do we need to actually do it instead of making up reasons why we can't. Yes there are times when there are legitimate reasons why and these are important to distinguish. Self-awareness can help us immensely with this since it can keep us accountable. We can opt to write down key tasks or things we promised to others so we can work on doing these things. With that in mind, it's also okay to change our minds but we need to be aware of how it can affect those around us. Responsibility is crucial in our lives since we need to own up to our actions and this starts with doing what we say.

A Strong Moral Compass

Morals form the foundation for how we interact with the world around us. Someone with good morals will more often than not lead their lives from the perspective of empathy and understanding. Some other good morals include mutual respect and living a life that aims to bring about positive outcomes. Morals help keep us grounded and are a reminder that even in spite of challenging circumstances, we can still choose to lead an optimistic and happy life. Sometimes though we need to dig deeper to understand why we prioritize certain concepts over others. We're shaped by the environment that we're in and sometimes we need to put in extra work when it isn't conducive to our well-being. We need to actively aim to improve our space since it determines our success and we can do that by having a healthy mentality.
