Another important internal strategies for success, and key among others is integrity.
In fact, integrity could be considered the meta-strategy for success in all areas of life.
That is, integrity encompasses all other success strategies in a coherent, unified, dynamic force.
Integrity implies selflessness and a certain degree of sacrifice.
The quality of your life is ultimately determined by the integrity of your actions. It is always in your best interest to act with integrity. It may seem that doing what is right would sometimes call for a sacrifice on your part, would sometimes demand that you act against your own interest. And indeed, there are always sacrifices to be made in any worthwhile endeavor. However, you never sacrifice your own interest when you do what is right. It is always the better choice for you to do the right thing.
Integrity means acting to make your world as much better as you possibly can even when no one is watching.
It means discovering your own unique set of skills and abilities, and using them to achieve maximum benefit for those around you.
It means finding what you do best, and doing it with all the commitment and energy you can muster.
Literally, integrity means wholeness, soundness or completeness. In the case of personal development, integrity means being true to the highest and best that is within you. And so, by very definition, integrity of life and action is closely connected to fulfillment of purpose.
Too often integrity is viewed as something that one “should” practice out of a sense of guilt, in order to “be good” in the eyes of others. In short, integrity is commonly misidentified as the need to conform to some value system that resides outside yourself, when actually integrity is the practice of conforming to a value system that is an integral part of your higher self.
Living with integrity is arguably the number one strategy for success in life. It is a success strategy that makes all other success strategies possible.
Integrity cuts right to the heart of the matter. For what higher success could there be than to fulfill your own incredible possibilities?
There is no better path to success and accomplishment than this.
