Lisa, I suspect it’s that we tend to look for who we are in others. Those who hold Integrity dear are more likely to associate with others who reflect that value.
As for the wholeness… consider that Integrity, Integral, Integration, etc, come from the same root: whole, oneness, unity. That’s why I love the diagram above — only when we align our thinking, feeling, behavior are we acting out of wholeness. Great stuff!

Hmmmmmm…..integrity is a core value for me as well…….

Is it a coincidence that 3 of your “regular” blog comment-ers have this in common? I suspect not. Maybe one of the reasons we respond to and work with you is becuase we sense/see that integrity/wholeness in you so clearly. It’s like a mirror reflecting what we want to see in our own lives.

Or maybe that’s just me.

I’d never really thought of integrity as a blance of self respect and confidence. I’d always thought more along the lines of being true to my belief system/ doing the right thing when no one’s watching. It’s a LOT more challenging to think of it as incorporating wholeness and authenticity.

Yes, I try living it living it every day .. and I am human, so it’s always an interesting experience, trying to live in wholeness!

Integrity is a core value for me as well, and so terribly important in life. Thanks for keeping it at the forefront.
