Integrity means honesty and honesty mean sincerity. (reference: Dictionary.com)
When we give our word we must give it with integrity. I use to think that I had to say "yes" to everything and everyone because I am a person with integrity. Now, I ask the question, am I really a person with integrity?
Even when I either could not or did not want to honor a commitment, I did anyway. Now who am I being dishonest to? This also means that I was saying yes everywhere and trying to meet a commitment in more than one situation. My heart was torn. I was not very happy and this is because I could not say "no".
In order to be honest, (honorable), sincere and have integrity, sometimes we must say "no". When we say "no", others realize our "yes" is sincere and we have integrity.
Meditation: contemplate on, when I say yes, it is Spirit guiding me for my greater good and the good of all concerned. Take 3 deep cleansing breaths and go into the silence for at least 3 minutes. Lovely LadyFran
