Ah integrity. This is the word I was missing.
I live in a house of females and emotion seems to be at a frequency I just don't understand. These beings just seem to be a little more emotional than I am, and I am an emotional person. I focused upon logic and good decision making rather than integrity when it comes to diagnosing the issue and trying to help my little ones.
An emotion is an unchecked influencer when I consider it clinically for myself. If an impulse creates a reaction without thought, it is a wildcard as to whether it will be the right or most constructive reaction. So, I encouraged my chicks to be mindful that emotion, then engage that brain to widen the influencers of the decision before action, or reaction. When you add in Integrity, that just caps it off.
I often say, "I don't need to be right. I just want IT to be right." Maybe that is integrity?
Solid thoughtful thought!
Greetings @zekepickleman ,
What a lovely comment. So true!
Integrity is almost a lost word....let's reclaim it. As you say it 'caps it off'.
This line from your comment...
'I don't need to be right. I just want IT to be right." Maybe that is integrity?
...I would say...yes...a basic foundation of Integrity is humility. What is humility? The absence of self-absorption, self-deception, self-justification...the three Arrogance skills.
Well done!
Kind Regards,
Bleujay
