Life in 2017-2018 is full of demands and deadlines but, at the end of the day, YOU are your own greatest investment.

1. Today I can build on my integrity by asking myself if I’m in sync with my life purpose? An inner dialog helps clarify values and strengths, especially if you capture it in a journal. So, I will ask myself this question in my journal today and see what answers I come up with.
Integrity means “living whole” or “completeness” so, if I’m out of sync with my chosen purpose, then my integrity would weaken and so would my other values.
2. Today I can try building my integrity by searching for people who are also trying to build their integrity and are working on creating a better life for themselves

So I clicked on the link http://www.global-change-seminar.org/raps/rap_4a.htm and discovered some interesting stuff on clarifying values. At the bottom of this page, it clearly defines the difference between a value and a belief, which is an important distinction.
