Takeaways:

Integrity Starts with You: It's not just about being honest with others; it's about keeping the promises you make to yourself. If you can’t trust yourself to follow through, how can you expect others to trust you?

Be True in Every Aspect: Integrity isn't just about what you do when others are watching. It's about who you are when no one’s around. Reflect on whether you're showing up consistently, both in your personal and professional life.

Small Dishonesties Add Up: A little dishonesty here and there might seem harmless, but it can lead to bigger issues down the line. By staying true to your word, even in the small things, you set a solid foundation for bigger successes.

It's Okay to Say No: Sometimes, integrity means turning down opportunities that don't align with your values or where you can't provide the best service. Being honest about your limits can lead to stronger, more genuine relationships.

Embrace Imperfection: Recognize that you’re not perfect, and that’s okay. Being open about your flaws and working on them is where true growth happens. It’s about progress, not perfection.
