What is the one most important character trait to hold? We could debate thatfor a long time, but let me offer integrity as a very likely candidate.
Integrity is the measure of how close are the things we say we believe (bywords, in our thoughts, etc.) and what we show we believe through our actions. The integrity gap is the space between what we say we believe and what we showwe believe.Everybody falls into the gap sometimes. People who believe in the law, driveover the speed limit. People who think steeling is wrong will take things whenthey think nobody will miss them. People who believe we should leave somethingbehind for future generations still consume oodles of unnecessary items. We become happier when the integrity gap is small, because we are doing theright thing by our own standards.
What more should I do to narrow your integrity gap?
