Integrity: Choosing courage over comfort;
choosing what is right over what is fun, fast
or easy; and choosing to practice our values
rather than simply professing them.
Brené Brown
Integrity is doing the right thing.
Even when no one is watching.
C.S. Lewis
Find your purpose
You are God's masterpiece. You were designed for the purpose that you were made for. What are your gifts and passions?
Personal branding
- How do you want people to experience you?
- Have a set standard for yourself on how you look and behave. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
- Take pride in the way that you present yourself. No matter who you're interacting with - it's a reflection of you. Your self-identity depends on your conduct at all times.
Enjoy your blessings
Don't dim your light to make others comfortable. Don't let others define you.

whether he is the garbage man or
the president of the university.

The true measure of a person's character is
how they treat others, especially those less
fortunate. Do not let success or failure
define you.

Luke 7:47
For this reason I say to you, her sins,
which are many, have been forgiven,
for she loved much; but he who is
forgiven little, loves little.

the sense of dignity grows with
the ability to say no to oneself.

resources that we assemble over time.
These are the investments we make in ourselves,
the things we do well enough, or long enough,
that they become part of who we are.
