The Essence of Personal Integrity: What is personal integrity and why is there not more? | JDMessinger
I started a discussion forum in my fan club on LinkedIn, Power of Essence with JD Messinger, to start a discussion on the essence of cadinal virtues and values and why there seems to be such a decline in society. See Power of Essence forum by clicking here.
One of the members asked this question, "Personal Integrity - why is it not valued more in our culture?"
Let me take a stab at providing my thoughts. I encourage everyone to share theirs!
Integrity is defined by Encarta World Dictionary as follows:
possession of firm principles: the quality of possessing and steadfastly adhering to high moral principles or professional standards
completeness: the state of being complete or undivided ( formal ) "the territorial integrity of the nation"
wholeness: the state of being sound or undamaged ( formal )"public confidence in the integrity of the voting process"
Those are interesting but not extremely practical. Here is my definition:
"Personal integrity is very simply when a person says what they mean, means what they say, and does what they say they will do."
