Define Your Integrity

As busy women, it is important for us to define who we truly are and where our life is headed.  Living a life of integrity and defining our integrity is the foundation for living a life that is balanced and fulfilled. It is important for us to ask ourselves Who Am I?

I like to define integrity as knowing WHO we are.  When I say WHO, I am speaking in regards to how WE define ourselves as women. WHO we are is not the same as WHAT people call us or WHAT we may do. These are what I consider to be roles we play or labels that are given to us.  For instance, our children call us mother; our spouse calls us wife; we may be a teacher.  These roles or labels may all be positive. However, they do not define WHO we truly are. When no one is around and we are by ourselves, WHO ARE WE?

Living a life of integrity allows us to answer that question.  It also allows us to define for ourselves WHO we are and What we are called to do in life.  Living a life full of integrity is not a destination.  It is a process.  Living our lives with integrity and aligning our daily actions with our calling is a journey.

This integrity journey may not be an easy one,  However, when we define our integrity we live our lives authentically and intentionally.  Having integrity allows us to take our lives off cruise control and take control of the wheel.  We no longer sit back and react, but we plan our lives.  An indicator that we are living within our own integrity is when our daily actions are aligned with our calling and purpose.

Now, this doesn't mean that we'll live our lives without experiencing unpleasant circumstances or we can lay down on a bed of ease.  But it does mean that despite our situations or circumstances we are focused and committed to fulfilling our life's intention.  Instead of being a victim of life, we are victorious. 

As this year comes to a close take some time to do an integrity self assessment.  Think about WHO you are or WHO you want to be.  It's YOUR life and YOU can have a life that has integrity, is balanced and fulfilled.

Robin you are speaking my language. My goal for the rest of 2009 and the new year to come is Harmony and Balance. I've had enough of the roller coaster ride losing myself trying to find the answers in others. Great post. Great blog!
