If you had to choose just one virtue to uphold in your life – choose integrity. It will always be your most valuable asset. It is worth more than money or power or fame. You have complete control of this asset and no one else can ever take it away from you. It is yours and yours alone.<\/p>\n
When I look back at all the people I have interacted with in my life the one thing I never forget about a person is their level of integrity. Those who have it are people I would move heaven and earth to help. Those who don\u2019t have it are people I would go to great lengths to keep out of my life because a person who lacks integrity will never bring happiness or joy or goodness into your life. But a person of honor and integrity is someone you can always look up to and try to emulate. Your life will only be better because they were a part of it.<\/p>\n
Make integrity mandatory in your life. Never be tempted to exchange your integrity for anyone or anything. I love the quote that says:<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are days you will interact with people that lack integrity and honesty. It\u2019s tempting to meet them where they\u2019re at. Don\u2019t. Remember their choices are not yours. Your integrity is not optional. Being your best in the face of adversity is the most rewarding choice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n When this life is said and done you want to be able to look in the mirror and know that you have kept your integrity.<\/p>\n The Man In The Glass\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n When you get what you want in your struggle for self For it isn\u2019t your father, or mother, or wife He\u2019s the fellow to please \u2013 never mind all the rest You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years by:\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Peter Dale Wimbrow Sr.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t ever cheat the man or woman in the glass.

\nAnd the world makes you king for a day
\nJust go to the mirror and look at yourself
\nAnd see what that man has to say.<\/p>\n
\nWhose judgment upon you must pass
\nThe fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
\nIs the one staring back from the glass.<\/p>\n
\nFor he\u2019s with you, clear to the end
\nAnd you\u2019ve passed your most difficult, dangerous test
\nIf the man in the glass is your friend.<\/p>\n
\nAnd get pats on the back as you pass
\nBut your final reward will be heartache and tears
\nIf you\u2019ve cheated the man in the glass.<\/p>\n
