What is Integrity




Integrity is choosing to do the right thing, no matter the cost, regardless of who sees or knows. Defined, the word integrity means "wholeness, the quality or state of being of sound moral principle, uprightness, honestly and sincerity." Integrity is consistency between your public life and private life, being what you claim to be and doing what you said you would do. Integrity refers to the consistency of character that matches words and actions, visions and choice, values and behaviors. It is a life lived with consistency.



It is serving from a sincere heart with honest motives.



Sincere defined is "being in reality what you appear to be; having character which corresponds with appearance, genuine, true, real." 
~Against the Wind by K.P. Yohannan

 
Psalm 51:61

 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts,

         And in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
Proverbs 11:3

 The integrity of the upright will guide them,

      But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.
