THE RESOLUTION I WILL learn from my mistakes, repent of my sins, and walk with integrity as a man answerable to God A wise man learns quickly from his errors and adjusts his path to get back on track. He tries to fail forward, becoming wiser after each mistake and taking intentional steps to avoid stumbling into the same ditch twice. A foolish man, however, fails backward, refusing to learn, continually wasting his experiences. He follows his own footprints into yesterdays traps and gets entangled in them all over again. So if we are to live with integrity, we must tune our ears to both the lessons of our own life and wisdom of others. We must humble ourselves, admit we dont have it all together, and then ask God to give us wisdom each day to make the best decisions possible. If you are a man of integrity, then you will speak the truth all the time. Whether much is at stake or nothing is at stake, you will be the same in public as you are in private. When you are alone, whatever you are doing, you will consistently choose to do the right thing. How can we be men of integrity? In our relationships - Instead of backstabbing, gossiping, or lying about others, integrity makes us want to build people up and treat them with respect. In our values - Integrity puts character above wealth, popularity or position. It causes us to despise deception in our own lives as well as in others, and to honour those who are walking with God. In our commitments - We make wise, careful promises, and keep them even when theyre hard to see through to completion. We pay our debts and keep our marriage vows. Our price tag - A man of integrity cannot be bought. He wont allow money to corrupt him. Money doesnt have a hold on him.
