Hold to your ethics and principles
Stand strongly for what you hold true.
Believe in your true self without compromises.
Trust in the power within yourself and use it.
Act in concert with your dreams and visions.
Cleanse your heart and soul as nature renews itself.
Be honest with yourself and you will be aligned with what is right,
in harmony with the natural laws of the universe.

It’s strange to me that sometimes when I’ve been accused of a lack of integrity, I was really being most true to myself and to those around me. What others see as integrity may not be what is truly integrity in ourselves. Real integrity is about being true to your own principles, not to those other people or society may impose upon you.

very very nice
hi Donna 🙂
You are right.
Great understanding is broad and unhurried;
small understanding is cramped and busy.
Great words are bright and open;
small words are chit and chat.
