Development of integrity is the inside job

The reason many people struggle with integrity issues is that they tend to look outside themselves to explain any character.
It's true that many people of poor character would not be the way they are if only they had grown in a different environment. Now it's true that our upbringing and circumstances affect who we are, the greater number of choices we make, either for good or bad. Two people can grow up in the same environment, even in the same
household, and one will have integrity and the other won't.

Certainly, you are responsible for your choices. Your circumstances are as responsible for your character as a mirror is for your looks—what you see only reflects who you are. In the ancient times, engravers, and other artisans used a symbol to mark the things they created to show that they were the makers. The symbol that each one used was his character. The value of the work was in proportion to the skill with which the object was made and only if the quality of the work was high was the character esteemed. In other words, the quality of the person and his work gave value to  his credentials. If the work was good, so was the character. If it was bad then the character was viewed as poor.

That same is applicable with us today. Character comes from who we are. But some people would like to be judged not by who they are, but by the title they have earned or the position they hold, regardless of the nature of their character. Meanwhile, their desire is to influence others by the weight of their credentials rather than the strength of their character. But I tell you, credentials can never accomplish what character can.

It's certain that a good reputation is valuable. But a good reputation exists because it's a reflection of a person's character. If a good reputation is like gold then having integrity is like you own the mine. However, worry less about what others think and give your attention to your inner character. It is sure " if I take care of my character, my reputation will take care of itself.

Note this: if you struggle with maintaining your integrity and you are doing all the right things on the outside but you are still getting the wrong results, it means that something is wrong and still needs to be changed on the inside.

    I have been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I by no means found any fascinating article
    like yours. It is beautiful value enough for me. Personally,
    if all site owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you probably did, the net can be much more
    helpful than ever before. I’ve been browsing
    online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any
    interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.
    In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot
    more useful than ever before. http://nestle.com/

Things you should expect when you connect with your spot

Get out of the rat race. After all, if you win, you will simply be the big rat. Stop running in the competition. The only person you should compete with is yourself. "how well am I performing in my leadership spot," is what you should ask yourself. You have to know that the battery does not compete with a spark plug, because the battery knows the spark plug can never be a battery, and so on. They sit in the engine in their spots and serve the engine their gift without competing

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity
