But men of integrity value what is honest, true, noble, trustworthy, kind, and right ahead of personal gain. Once integrated into our foundational operating system, integrity ceases to be optional or “add-on”, but instead becomes a way of life. Here are some suggestions that will help once we decide to make integrity a foundational value: 1. Root yourself in a moral foundation: It’s been said that everyone has a god, the question is only, “What god do we choose?” But many of us fail to even address the issue. Once considered, this question can give us a firm place to anchor. 2. Look for the positive: Load your consciousness in a positive direction by scanning the news for examples of integrity. Then talk about those (with friends and family) rather than the latest scandal. Make endorsing integrity a stronger value in your life than criticism and scorn. 3. Resist the temptation to compartmentalize your life: Too many of us are different people in different places. Determine to be a man of integrity; then practice at home, at work, at play – wherever you are. 4. Determine to live for others ahead of yourself: The root enemy of integrity is selfishness. The “Golden Rule” requires treating others the way we would like to be treated. It is impossible to follow the Golden Rule without a boost to personal integrity.
