Integrity, what is it?

Doing what works, doing what you say you will do, and on time.

Integrity, Principles, stories to follow...

Being related and integrity are the source of results, and that is it.

Look there strategically.
Are you building relationships?
Are you being true to your word? To your strategy?

Being true to your values
Being true to your standards and ideas
Being true to who you have said your self to be

Guilt and shame is not integrity
They are internal states. You are loyal to your internal state (how you feel)
At the cost of being out here Related in the world

You are dancing with disempowering conversations

You could give your word not to do that
When you notice a disempowering conversation
When you notice being loyal to how you feel about it
Unless you are lit up and empowered by how you feel, but mostly regarding not keeping
your word, you are ashamed, guilty and embarrassed

All of which are internal states

Just don't buy into it and entertain the disempowering conversations as true

You could meditate, pray
Write
Call a friend who won't coddle you or buy in,
Take a hot bath
Take a walk
Have a good cry
Get or give a hug or both
Have some good hot soup
Tell someone you love him or her
Tell someone you are sorry
Ask someone what you can do for him or her

All that is good and healing

And all that, even the bath or long walk,

 Is the practice of someone working on their integrity and authenticity and their leadership
power and mastery

By distinguishing being out of integrity and restoring it and building it and the same for autheticity. Distinguish it as missing, and then bring it present by sharing where you have been pretending and separate and the impact that has on others and clean it up

With your partner, commit to having an honest and supportive and friendly and spiritual relationship each responsible for in what ways you don't make it work by being separate and not following through on what you know works

Doing what you know to do whether you promised to or not

 Doing what you promised

 Being and doing

What Is Left When We Leave the Room, by Nancy Dorrier

What is left of us when we leave the room, leave the call, leave the house, leave the party, and, of course, leave ultimately?  Perhaps our conversations--what we talked about and what we listened to. Plain and simple. What were we building on those empty lots of time? The weather was too hot and the traffic too much and parking places too hard to find. Were those worth the real estate they occupied? We have this moment, this precious moment, so tell me what you love about your life, what you love about your work, and what matters to you. Tell me about Billy Collins or Bruce Springsteen or Maya Angelou, who said, People don’t remember what you said; they remember who they were in your presence . Do people get bigger and brighter or smaller and duller around you? Make a list: Whom do you talk to and what you talk about? That’s the baseline. Make a second list: What could you talk about with them that you aren’t now? And what could you ask t

Guns, by Jane Smith

By -
My father killed himself with a perfectly legal handgun left over from his law enforcement days.  He kept it long after he retired, in the top drawer of a mahogany chest of drawers in our big hall, unloaded but right beside the ammunition. My brother and I knew not to touch it…not ever. Dad was troubled about his health, and the gun was handy and available that December morning. I don’t know if he would have used another method. I just know he didn’t.

Angkor Wat in Cambodia by Nancy Dorrier

February 4, 2013 Today we went to Angkor Wat in Cambodia at Siem Reap. Ket was our guide and he warned us he was not a cat herder! We thought our guide might be Hoy who told us stories last night and this morning of the killing fields But we ended up on bus 3 with Ket very fluent in  English and knowing the history of 12th century Angkor Wat, translation "city temple".  Once Hindu and then Buddhist.  Cambodians call themselves as do Thai, Hindu Buddhists I got the book The Gods Drink Whiskey: Stumbling Toward Enlightenment in the Land of the Tattered Buddha that tells of the middle way, the way between pure philosophy, texts and analysis and on the other hand, practices, daily life and the heart and soul of Buddhism.   Sitting in the Sofitel hotel after an incredible Thai massage with several beautiful flight attendants staying for the night here, too, in their ivory suits with turquoise blouses with bows at the neck. So a mixture of the killing fie
