Living with integrity means staying true to our values from "summary" of Six Pillars of Self-Esteem by Nathaniel Branden
Living with integrity means staying true to our values. It means that we are honest with ourselves and with others about what we believe in, what is important to us, and what we stand for. When we live with integrity, we do not compromise our values for the sake of pleasing others or avoiding conflict. We do not betray ourselves or our beliefs simply to fit in or to gain approval. Instead, we remain steadfast in our commitment to our principles and ideals. Living with integrity requires courage and strength. It means being willing to speak up for what we believe in, even when it is unpopular or goes against the prevailing opinions of those around us. It means being willing to stand alone if necessary, knowing that our integrity is worth more than the approval of others. Living with integrity also means being consistent in our actions and our words, so that there is no gap between what we say we believe and how we actually behave. When we live with integrity, we build a strong sense of self-esteem and self-respect. We know that we can trust ourselves to act in accordance with our values, even when faced with challenges or temptations. We feel a sense of inner peace and confidence, knowing that we are living authentically and in alignment with our true selves. This inner sense of integrity radiates outwards, affecting how we interact with others and how we show up in the world. Living with integrity is not always easy. It requires self-awareness, self-discipline, and a willingness to take a stand for what we believe in. It means being willing to face criticism, disapproval, and even rejection from others who may not understand or appreciate our values. But the rewards of living with integrity are great. When we stay true to our values, we live with a sense of purpose and meaning that brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We become the kind of person we can be proud of, someone who can look back on our life with a sense of accomplishment and integrity.
