Living in Integrity #1423

In our last +1, we talked about wisdom from James Stockdale, Stephen Covey, Jim Rohn and David Brooks.

They ALL said the same thing in their own, idiosyncratic way.

Stockdale told us that “integrity describes a person who is integrated, blended into a whole, as opposed to a person of many parts, many faces, many disconnects.”

He also told us that, when we are living in integrity, we are “not preoccupied with riding the crest of continual anxiety but free to ride the crest of delight with life!”

I repeat: When we close the gap between who we are capable of being and who we are actually being, THERE IS NO ROOM for all the regret, anxiety, and disillusionment that shows up when we DON’T have the Wisdom and Self-Mastery to live in integrity with our highest ideals and best selves.

I also repeat: The MOMENT we live with Areté, we ARE Heroic.
